I asked a recruiter a couple of weeks ago and they said everything is on a waitlist. No classes are being filled at this point. They can't say with any certainty at this point where classes are out to because: A) they don't know how big the classes will be; and B) what their retention will be of the people currently on the waitlist.

They aren't interviewing anyone with more than two checkride failures.

Not to mention that LIFT Academy should be sending some CFIs to Indoc and getting some students close to CFI in about years. Also have cadets as well. OTS hires are very selective from what I can tell.

I was told no FOs are coming on until Q3 this year but to stay in touch in the meantime.

The first CFIs will be in class next month, and the first students are about a year out from mins, but with 250 students per year, when that pipeline starts flowing it will drastically cut down on off the street hiring.

Any updates? Anxiously waiting for a class date:D

I haven’t even interviewed yet, but got an email yesterday saying they probably won’t interview until possibly next month.... I’ve been getting that email since February.... so I don’t think much is moving yet.

Let’s put it this way. I interviewed in December. Got an offer January 2nd. They said October but probably sooner. Now it appears the LIFT people are bumping me back for an official CJO and class date. Yesterday I was told that October is still a possibility. But that’s all that was communicated to me. It is pretty frustrating.

Why are you waiting?! Go somewhere else, unless you just MUST have one of our outstations, I suppose. Even with that it may be worth it to go somewhere else.
