Looking to see what are the wait times you had after applying on airline apps... Until you either got an invite for interview or reject, and what was the airline?

Its been a couple weeks for me, so I'm wondering

Depends on your app. Former Space Shuttle pilot with 10,000 hours - probably same day. Barely met hiring minimums- you won’t hear a thing until all the more qualified guys have been contacted - if ever.

There are too many factors at play for a accurate answer here… But I posted something similar to a different topic.

What are your quals?
Have you had a meet & Greet or a recruiting event?
Have you meet with the company at a Job Fair?
How many internal LORs?

It ranges from days to years with constant updating….

My advice, donor stress about timeline from submission to invite. They will send you a invite when they deemed that you are competitive. Update once a week. Attend a M&G or recruiting event. Meet with the company at a job fair. Get some internal LORs. Work on building your resume if it isn’t built.

I had my apps in since 2018 when I started my regional. It was early this year when I started getting bites from ULCCs followed by another Major who wanted me to fix something which prompted me to get my app reviewed which than triggered another Major hitting me up a few months later.

A few weeks? That’s it? Most people wait years. Relax.

Notice he/she asked the question in the Regional forum? Nowadays, I'd be concerned too if I applied to all the regionals and still hadn't heard anything after a few weeks. Heck, even a few days. To the OP, I noticed in your post history that you had two failed checkrides at your first 121 shop. That may be what makes other companies hesitant. I would apply with a company like Silver and use that as a way to get some 121 experience. Do a year or two in the ATR and then apply to other regionals that fly jets. That would show them that your other 121 failures were a fluke. Good luck!

Good point about it being asked in the Regional forums.

OP which companies are you targeting? If the regionals, I could be a hour to a week depending your quals and who you are targeting.

I apologize for my rant, earlier. My early rant is geared towards folks looking to apply to the majors.

yep that’s my bad. I didn’t even know regionals used airline apps.

I started mine in 2015. Any day now…
