Just curious to hear from guys that recently went through the program. How long did it take from the Psych test/interview until Artisia?

Sorry...this shouldn't be discussed on a public forum. Most of the stuff is very security sensitive.

Depends on how long it takes to get everything else done. I would say 3-4 months. Good luck and have fun, it's an amazing program!

How is asking a question about an application timeline "very security sensitive?"

Because what you can't find on the TSA web site shouldn't be talked about on a forum where anyone can read. I'm not trying to be a jerk... I'm just saying it probably isn't appropriate.

The best info I have received on the program is from the Capts. I have flown with who have done the program. They are very good at shedding light on the subject.

Listen Flyer, its no different than asking in a public forum how to become an FBI agent. We all know there are aspects of our profession that should not be discussed publically, but how to become a federal officer is not one. Frankly the more people know that there are federal officers flying our planes the better.

What does it matter? If you want to participate then apply. The timeline should have no bearing on your decision.

Maybe you should lay off the poor guy.. I mean, damn... I seriously doubt any of the FFDO's on this board are going to start giving out sensitive information. Let the guy ask.. Maybe he's CURIOUS as to how long he'll have to wait... (For me, it was about 4 months total...)
