I am hoping to interview I am real busy as i am a new FO elsewhere How long do they give you between notification of interview and the actual interview I know that there is a lot of paperwork that has to be gathered up FP

They give you a choice of whats available and you pick from that. Mine was anywhere from 2-4 weeks. I picked the 3 week mark because of the amount of paper work. However, most of the paperwork that takes forever to get back (driving records) is not required for the interview if you call ahead and tell them you wont have it.

My advice to other people who are applying is that start collecting driving records and college transcripts now - before the interview. That way when they call, and they want to give you a 3-4 week period to allow you to get ready, you can say that you'll take the next available one. I told LC that and she scheduled me one for that following monday. Interviewed monday, heard back on friday because I called my employers to do PRIA stuff ASAP.

Yea man....not to much longer. If those next FT's start going in nov, I'm on the list baby!

I heard upgrade time is down to 3 years on the good old ATR today from the Chief Pilots mouth.

Should be 4 years... April 2007 hire

Paper work is really not that bad, besides driving record, transcripts it's not bad. I mean you need to make photocopies but that takes all of 5 minutes. Good luck with everything.

When I started applying everywhere, I also applied for all the paper work I knew I would need, then when I got the call, I was able to sched my interview ASAP, which got me in a class sooner maybe even two.

Upgrades at 4yr and dropping.

And the flows haven't even started up again. Will be interesting seeing how low they go.
