Just 4 weeks? My wait was over 3 months....

It’s decreasing. Pretty quick it seems.

Timing certainly is everything.

It’s not that, but when in takes months and months to get through training here, all that time without flying definitely hurts you. More time to upgrade, less competitive for other airliners, etc. Thanks for your sarcastic comment though

My buddy who got hired on with Delta in his sixth month at Piedmont (after Indoc, a five month wait, ground school, while awaiting sims) would disagree...

If they want you, they want you regardless of a training delay at a regional.

Having 8-9 months less experience can affect if they want you.

Is your buddy like me with 2100 TT and 0 TPIC? Was he a military guy who came here to get current? Or was he from another regional with several thousand hours and upgraded right away here? I’m doing the job fairs, updating the app, just got the degree done, etc. Still need more hours before I get a call though. But you guys know everything it seems.
