No.
A human specifies the criteria, computer pulls them, and then human reviews for obvious inadequacies (like 1000TPIC in a Caravan/Ag etc). Then it's graded. Main key is to be in that stack.

Are there any delays for a class date on the CRJ or ERJ? Heard classes are full until July/August.

Wow if we have 600 pilots (give or take) in the pool that is insane. #noshortage

I have been hearing July for CRJ and maybe August for ERJ from my friends. But I just talked to a guy tonight who interviewed this week and got May for ERJ. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Check in with your recruiter occasionally. Spots in classes open up due to people going somewhere else etc. and you may be able to get into a much earlier class.

When could a new-hire FO with captain minimums expect to upgrade? (assuming the aircraft with quickest upgrade and regardless of base)

I guess that’s another way to ask the question... in today’s market at SkyWest, if someone showed up tomorrow with “street captain” credentials, would it lead to a quicker upgrade or are there enough qualified FO’s he/she would just upgrade in seniority order?
