They wont really ask you on your interview when your last instrument logged time was... but make sure that it's at least reasonable... and not from 5 years ago.

No, don't worry about it. There are plenty furloughs that interview without a current flying job.

I've always understood the 75 in last 90 was the total time requirement...and not instrument.

cfii2007 you're correct. The recency is for total time.

Times are less important then being a decent person who we can get along with on a four day trip. Yes, if you can't fly the airplane you will fail training. However, that is a small minority of people and the training department is great. Just be honest and humble, be yourself (as many others have said) don't try to impress the interviewers, relax and you will be what they are looking for. If you are a know-it-all d-bag then you will not get the call.

well put sir.

Also, in the above case, if you fall through the cracks and make it to the ground school, sim, and IOE; you may be asked to leave while you're on the line. Like two in my class. Yep, various captains complained about the new hires' attitudes and they were both asked to leave within a month after completing IOE.

Also, when in the ground school, be very respectful to the Instructor: they know much more than most of us will ever know. This summer, one new hire, very young guy, was rude to the instructor; he was asked to pack up that very afternoon.

Good luck in training.

how long did it take for you folks to get a interview I sent my stuff in over a week ago?

I got a call a week after my buddy walked my stuff in to HR

I waited appox. 3 weeks. Had a senior captain walk my stuff in to the Chief, but he said that's really not worth a lot. Seems like no news is good news for most. I got in before the big boom for the most part. Applied 9/7, interviewed 10/9, class date 11/3 CRJ900. Best of luck!
