How long from a CP M&G until an interview invite assuming you meet all application requirements?

Sometimes six weeks, sometimes six months, sometimes never. Depends on the applicant background, interview performance, employee performance and reputation within the CPO and CP reputation/clout in Flight Operations. CP meet and greets can be very hit or miss.

Your best bet is to cut out the middlemen and the X factors you can’t control and meet the hiring team directly at a job fair.

this. I’ve had several CP meet and greets over the years and nothing came of them but didn’t get the Hogan till I met HR at convention and strong competitive hours. HR confirmed that all the CP recommendations were showing on my app so it’s not like they didn’t go through.

the CP visit can get you put at the top of the interview list. I waited several months to get the M&G, though.

I did a UA pilot sponsored M&G, not sure if that's still a thing. Seemed to go well and CP stated I should hear something soon for an official interview but that call never came. I then went to a job fair and actually ended up having my face to face with the same CP at the job fair, again stated they'd get me an interview slot. Never happened. I did get one after I put down another legacy as an employer though but ultimately decided not to pursue UA further.

Are all job fair M&Gs created equal? Folks I know met with pilot recruiters at some events, but when I went to OBAP 2025 and it was only an HR employee, and was billed as a 'resume review'. Seems, anecdotally at least, that some events like a resume/app review aren't the same weight as others

Today's new hire class is 82 pilots. Any idea of what airlines they came from? Last class had lots of Spirit and even some SWA pilots.
