Anyone know when the app process is going to open up again?

Not for while. They got 3500+ viable applicants during the last window.

3500?


Honest question what was it last time?
I was thinking last time was 5000 or was it 2500?

I think it was from a conference call. 3000 was the number stuck in my head.

But 5yrs ago it was 10000... We don't need to raise pay, your replacement is waiting!

Don't they typically open the window prior to Vets in Blue?

Good point. They did last time.

I just got the email for a mid March interview. I applied in December with 1 internal rec. Military fighter/trainer IP/EP. 2800 TT, 2500 PIC, 1500 jet PIC.

Has anyone recently received a call from JB with less than 200 hours in the last twelve months? Quals are: 121 PIC, Mil Heavy, Mil TAC, Sim Instructor, Line IP,1 letter of rec on file. Currently have just over 100 in the last twelve months.

I was under 200 ... around 150 for the last 12 months, but still actively flying.

Something no one has mentioned yet, during my interview they asked me when my most recent training event was (ie. type rating). Not only are they looking at amount of hours in 12 months but also recent types. Just my .02
