OTS CJO Timeline
 

For those of you hired off the street recently, how long did it take to receive your official CJO after your interview?

when did you sign your cjo?

I haven’t. Interviewed on Tues and was told to expect a CJO as soon as things were processed, or something to that effect. Was just curious how long others waited after an interview before receiving the CJO offer email.

48 hours- i belive you will get it by the end of the day
or tomorrow

That would be nice!

I interviewed on a Tuesday morning and received my cjo that Friday around noon. So around 72 hours later. You have to agree/sign the cjo within 2 business days and then complete the drug test and fingerprinting pretty soon after. This was in August 2025. I’m expecting a class date in November

You are August OTS and they told you to expect november?

How long did it take to get interview from submitting application?

They told me 3 months which would put me in November. I know someone with a 5/29 cjo who starts class 10/20. Classes slow down in the summer and pick up in the fall and spring.

I applied about 2 years ago on airline apps but heard nothing. I went to EAA and met the head of pilot recruitment and the next week had an offer for a phone interview. A week or so later did the technical interview with a captain on Microsoft Teams. I was told it could take up to two weeks to get an email back with yes or no. For me it was 72 hours.
