He’ll hear in the interview that according to the legal department they will offer two classes upon receiving a CJO. If those don’t work out you have to fill a class within 90 days of the decision board otherwise you have to reapply.

Again, they didn’t invite you to interview now to start work in the fall/winter. If you listed October/November/December as your availability date, you would not have received the invite. Waiting until after getting a job offer to switch your availability is a dishonest, foolish, short sighted decision.

You get ruffled enough on the tool of the day thread to follow him over here?

Thanks for the insight.

This is one of the worst ideas I’ve ever heard and reflects a deep misunderstanding of airline history and how the seniority system works. Take the first class you are offered and then ask to be on standby for an earlier one.

Or stay where you are at.

Being one number ahead can be the difference between a hard line and reserve, getting the domicile you want, a vacation slot, a captain vacancy, or even being furloughed.

Two weeks notice is the industry standard. I understand feeling obligated to a company that treats you well, but you are trying to land a multi-million dollar career.

Ask your friend how much money and seniority he is willing to give up to help out his company, because the end result is permanent.

Also, first year pay isn’t poverty wages.

If anything, ask to get into an earlier class!

Sorta true. Got a buddy hired last year and requested a June class due to living/working overseas and wanting his kids to finish the school year. So possible depending on your circumstances....as long as you don’t mind the seniority loss.
