Anyone care to shed some light on prep courseware? PM me. Sorry if its a repost but theres 279 pages and 2789 posts on this thread

thank you very much -Blue

I highly recommend Cage. They are very familiar with the UA process and were really great to work with. Scheduling was easy and I did two sessions over Skype. Their office is in DEN across the street from the training center so you can do one last polish session in person the day before. Even though I already felt fully prepared it was good to ease the nerves... Overall great folks and I felt very prepared for the interview

Reading back in this forum it seems it used to be very short wait...like a month max...so I am just wondering if it is increasing at all. Thanks!

I had posted this a couple of weeks ago but no response...so I figured I would try again.

I do not have a CJO, but several folks in my squadron do. From what I'm being told, from CJO to earliest potential class is right about a month - 45 days.

I'll second the recommendation for Emerald Coast.
Easily the best money I've ever invested in this career.

I've never heard a bad word about Cage, and they get lots of recommendations. But the ECIC prep got me this job. Whichever you chose don't skip the prep.

The pool is probably pretty shallow. A month from CJO to indoc is a good guess. They still need to do your drug screen and your PRIA paperwork after you get the class date.

Still forecasting 800+ new hires this year. I'm holding a line first month out of training in Newark. Its really good stuff.

Thanks for the info. 10 days or so to interview is fast...gotta have yourself somewhat prepared already I suppose. I have already done ECIC so if I was lucky enough to get a call I could focus mainly on prepping for the CRM exercise. It's also really nice how shallow their pool is now...the way it should be!

FWIW I received the Hogan invite in mid January and earliest available interview was 3 weeks later in mid February, received CJO a week later, and was told to expect a mid April class date!

Can anyone shed some light on electronic logbooks? I am receiving very conflicting views. If one has pretty clean paper logs, is an electronic log that necessary?
