Be careful with believing "4-months."
The early-December e-Jet class is just getting the long-awaited emails about SIM's, and they start late-April or May...that's 6-months from DOH to SIM start...add SIM training, oral exam, checkride, and IOE...and presto, you're at 8-months minimum.
The early-January e-Jet class is just wrapping up Procedures Training. They've been on-site since January 9th, or 91 days, and have trained for a total of 33 days (3 orientation; 10 indoc.; 12 systems; 8 Procedures), or 36%; put another way, they've sat on their rears for 64% (or almost two-thirds) of the time since they've been hired and haven't flown.
There are better choices if you want quality and organized training.

Does anyone have any information regarding when they are choosing to interview folks relative to availability dates? I am a transitioning mil guy and would definitely consider Mesa if ATL ends up being junior. However if I'd end up sitting on my butt for 3 months awaiting training it wouldn't be the best life-choice. My avail date is in January. Thanks

Sure, they get told whatever BS the Company is touting at the time to keep the charade alive and the scam going. There are over 200 pilots, either sitting on their duff in Phoenix or lounging at home, waiting, waiting, and waiting, the same promised "4 months" having expired a while ago...
...all while their skills deteriorate, their knowledge fades, and having no direction, no tools, and no support from the Company. Wonderful way to treat new hires, isn't it?
