it’s a never ending cycle. I was young and dumb and took a bonus too. Then as soon as I got on property I met older guys who hated me for it. And I agree, they work their a$$ off for nothing while day 1 FOs get a huge check, which reflects on no change to the pay scale for everyone else. Everyone is so excited to just get out of that cessna that they won’t look or see the big picture, or don’t know.

From what I seen it looks like they're still working through the cadets, but out of curiosity has anyone with a CJO received any first hand info from the company on a training date or when they might start allocating dates to us guys off the street? Last I heard they'd email me when they had more info. I figure I'll pester them again next week then start looking at interview elsewhere if I have to.

I would expect interviews and classes to brand new people to start shortly. The target is 40 new hires a month for the rest of the year but that could go up as things change. Once the Majors start hiring like they were in 2019 it will be gangbusters again.

So, I applied as an "off the street" applicant back in April when they opened the portal again and was curious if there is a way to keep updating my times? My guess is to just hang tight and wait to see if they will reach out for the latest information. I keep the airline app up to date, but not sure if they are linked.
I'm in no particular hurry since I won't come off active duty until December when I retire. Should have my ATP and 1600TT/750 ME by then, so sounds like my timing might be pretty good.
