Naw he didnt know anyone..

Ummm no, they need all the pilots they can get. There are many pilots in training now but not online.

how soon after submitting the application would someone interview? Im still short 60 hours of night and 15 instrument to hit the mins.

I submitted my app at 11pm and had an invitation to interview by the time I woke up next day. You are offered 3 dates to choose from, usually within 10-12 days from when you submitted the app. You get travel details 3-4 days b4 the interview day. You gotta pay your own hotel if you're flying in from the west coast.

It took me about a week or two if I remember correctly. It depends on how busy they are in HR/recruiting, if there are job fairs, etc...

How is that possible? I thought less than 80% is an automatic rejection basically .. That's amazing that he got an offer still

Yea from what my buddy told me they said too many people were passing the test (whatever that means) and that they didn't feel they were getting an accurate gouge of the interviewees' knowledge so they were going to change it continously. I bet those same ones doing the interview used the gouge to get on with PSA.

When I interview/ hire someone, I could care less about raim, and all that other bull fecal matter - the only thing I care about is real world life knowledge, reading charts, jepps or nocs, IFR procedures, and can you fly the damn plane without killing yourself or the operator but this raim crap, when are circling mins published, what prevents compressor stalls, (your flying piston twins or high performance piston, etc in the fleet I look after)

I wouldn't expect you to know or care because I sure as hell don't. I don't care what's in your logbook to a certain point cause I know when i test fly ya, who you really are will come shining through. I think PSA is being hypocritical.

When was this?

What class dates is PSA filling now? Is there still a training backlog?

Last I heard it was late April. That was a week or so ago.

From my understanding, they are scheduling classes two months in advance - so if you interview this week, you can expect the class date in the middle of May.
