Ty, Jetty. A lot of luck and patience seems to be as important as the resume..

Bring on more EWR 73 backfills. Congrats. Seriously don't get why everyone hates EWR. If you're east of the Mississippi it's a no brainer. Welcome.

I interviewed on 28th and was told 7 or 14 April. Looks like it could be 31st?

I'll see you guys there. Interviewed 21 Jan.

Wow that's great I interviewed Feb 5th and was given either 14th or 21st of April possibly. Looks like early might happen.

See you guys in class!

FMS DR I interviewed same day. When did you get the call?

I wonder if this is bad news for me since I interviewed on 28 Jan....hmmmm

Not sure what you mean you should have heard something by now.

You should have received a contingent job offer by now (at most 10 days after you interviewed).

What is the order for calling into class? I thought it was based on Interview date.

I believe it is done off the last four of your SS#. Everybody who is interviewed during the week is grouped together and sorted by ss #.

I have the letter posted on my fridge next to my kids' report cards :)

That's good to know - thanks for the information. My last 4 digits are up there, if those are the numbers they are looking at. And, I've said it in the other thread, but, just in case...Hogan taken 12/26, interviewed 1/27.

Thanks much,
CS72

No its based on interview week so guys that interviewed on the 30th with a lower SS number will get a class date before you. If you were called and given the CJO then you will be in this 24th class or the next one if guys that interviewed the same week as you are getting called.

cptslewis - I got the call to offer my class date on 2/27 - a Friday. I have an extremely low last four of my SSN for those wondering. i had no idea they used that to place people into classes. That used to be the way legacy UAL used to do class seniority before the merger, but I guess now it is done by age.

I know someone who also interviewed on 1/27. I called Friday night after reading this thread and they hadn't heard yet. FWIW, their SSN is middle of the road.

Thanks FMS DR. I interviewed 1/30 and have a CJO. Guess I will wait for my call. Any idea how many interviewed the week of 1/26-1/30? 20?25?

cptslewis - I'm not sure how many interviewed that week. I only interacted with one other candidate during the process. Purely by guessing or speculation - I'd guess they interview 30/week. I'm sure you will get the call very soon - probably a 3/31 class date. Congrats on the CJO!

Does anyone know if you need a first class medical within the previous 6 months to start class? I'm under forty, so it is valid for 12 months, but I think I remember reading somewhere that I needed one within 6 months to be selected for an interview - not sure if that applies to new hires or current pilots.

No as long as it's current. It used to be within the last 6 months but not any more.

I interviewed Jan. 27th and got the CJO Feb. 4th. Was offered class on Feb. 27th for March 24th. Can't get away from my current employer (overseas) that fast so I'm in the March 31st.

You will need a first class medical within 6 months to interview, but not to start class. To start class you just need a current first class medical. Why the difference? Trying to prevent age discrimination. During the interview if they see you have a first class medical that is more than 6 months old they know you are under the age of 40. They might also infer you to be over the age of 40 if you have a newer medical. I should also add that they ask you mark out your date of birth on all documents before the interview. It is just a simple step to make sure everyone has a level playing field. Also note, it is not required to be less than 6 months old to be selected for the interview. Just needs to be less than 6 months old when you interview.

Great explanation, ingleburg5. Thanks!

lets be real with this. why all the secrecy about age. they can easily tell your age simply by looking at your education history. High school graduation and or college. It really is not hard. we can cover all the dates on medical and licenses and it really means nothing. I am in this class by the way. Interviewed December 18th.

Lawyers told them to do it, just in case.

No one would likely win an age discrimination suit against United anyway. Once they did discovery and found that United is hiring a bunch of guys over 40 they would have a hard time proving United didn't hire them because they were over 40. Just look at the ages of the guys in the recent classes.

Its all just a part of CYA on United's part.

Am I the grandpa on this class?..45

You should be in pretty good shape seniority wise, even if you're not the oldest.

The oldest in my class was 49, average 39. I know of a 55 year old who's waiting for his class assignment.

Main goal is to get to IAH ASAP..only 2 A320 slots in the 24th class..so we'll see..the 320 fleet supposed to grow substantially in IAH

Does the 8 ball hafta carry my IPad? ;-)

Who will toe the line when the need arises (and it will)? A 45 year old with a military pension or a 33 year old? I'll take that young guy. Screw HR!

Not all 45 yr olds have pensions you know.

March 24 Class
 

Contrary to misconceptions, not all 40s with pensions got pensions from towing the line and tigers don't change stripes overnight. Some 30s are still malleable and go with the wave rather than their own thoughts. How's that for vague generalizations and preconceived notions? Glad to be on the team with different points of view which lead to a better solution every time vs lemming group think

I'll be in the 24th class as well.
 

See you guys there. I was told that the 73's were SFO, 320 IAH, and 75/76 DC. Spoke with S.S. on Monday.

Former XJT, anyone else?
