When To Apply
I believe I saw somewhere on the company website to apply when you are within 3 months of reaching ATP mins. I currently have 340 hours left, along with the need to complete my CMEL. With my current gig, that could be anywhere from 4-7 months depending on how much I fly.
Only reason I ask is because I want to minimize any downtime and have a class date waiting for me, if possible. Apply now or wait a couple more months?

Ah. That would make sense. I definitely misinterpreted that. Anyone have any input on whether the cadet program would be worth doing this late in the game? Says the requirements are a CFI and CMEL. Have the CFI. No CMEL yet.

Get the CMEL. I doubt they値l let you interview without it. The cadet program will get you higher class seniority so yes, it is worth it.

The cadet program will always help as long as you apply for it before reaching ATP mins. There is no downside to being a cadet as there is zero obligation but it starts the clock on company benefits and will bump your ground school seniority significantly. In short, if you meet the requirements for cadet and don稚 yet have ATP mins, it痴 in your best interest to sign up.
