Awaiting Call
 

Please share how long it took for a phone call once your application on AirlineApps was submitted. Thank you!

You mean email? Hogan?......

Whatever their preferred method is. Phone, email, horse and carriage... You know what I mean, thanks.

best joke ever...

Most guys have to wait like 30-45 seconds to get a response. There is such a shortage of pilots.

Submitted app Feb 2016 and not a peep. App review done thru Emerald Coast. 4 year degree, LCA, Sim instructor at previous Regional, 4 types including Boeing. TPIC 8000. Volunteer time. Just waiting and updating....

Anywhere from a few weeks to a few months to a few years to never.

2 years exactly, no kidding they emailed me on the day my app would have expired. I had already moved on to American by then and hadn't updated the app in 6 to 9 months.

Smart asses need not response, thank you for wasting everybody else's time who would like this information.

Thank you everybody else for the responses.

Relax!! You're a newbie here, and you'll realize this is how most threads go. I suggest a sense of humor or to stay away, seriously. :p

Warning: There are no "safe spaces" on APC.....

FWIW, post #7 in this thread answers your question perfectly and is not a smart ass response.

UAL has nearly 10,000 pilot applications on file and will hire another 300 (or so) in 2016. Simple math explains that not everybody who applied is gonna get a call this year nor are applicants called in the order in which they applied.

You are asking a question that does not have a specific answer.

About 6 years and counting. At WAI was able to sit down with Delta and United. Haven't heard a peep from United but got the interview invite from Delta about 2 weeks later.

Yes, this is accurate, thank you. But that wasn't my question. I was hoping to hear from people who received an interview and how long it took him/her. Thanks.

They have 75 on the pool or CJO and they will hire 385 till the end of the year....after the summer flying is done

That leaves 325 spots for 2016


Post your qualifications

Thanks for the info. 6,000TT/1200Jet PIC/1500 A320

That is what you'll hear. Could be anywhere in those ranges. Try reading some of the threads on here and you'll find the "specific" information you seek.

9 years......

^^^^This is the only possible correct answer.

My app has been on file since 2012.

One guy I know who just got hired had his app in for six years.

Another guy I know had his app in for twelve years.

I see zoomies getting out of the Air Force with an interview offer within weeks. And I also see zoomies who have gotten out of the Air Force years ago who are still waiting.

Some guys get the call in a few weeks. Some guys get the call in a few months. Some guys get the call in a few years. Some guys never get the call.

The OP's question is open-ended and has an infinite amount of possible answers.

Why is water wet? What makes a woman tick? These are questions easier answered than the OP's question.

It's been three years...

For all the guys that got a call back within weeks, let me just say.... screw off!!!
For all the guys that it took years, a ton of recommendation foraging, a check airman letter, a bunch of volunteer positions, a career fair or two, 1000s of hours of TPIC, and a lot of worrying, let me just say that it will happen. I know it can be frustrating but hang in there. It will happen.

It was 19 months for me. Over 10,000 hours when I first applied. I was in class less than six months after the first email contact.

Over 4 years for me. I was not at all qualified when I started applying. Just kept it up and worked on different ways to "check boxes". Stayed optimistic and pushed for it and finally got the call. Never gave up.

Okay great.. thanks for all the replies.

The problem with your question is there is no real answer. How long it takes depends on each individual and their situation. You can't say that based on X quals, it will take Y time.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way.

So....

....that really was your question, huh?

It took almost exactly a year after applying and getting a cp rec to getting the first email. From the time I got the initial email to the time I was in class was approximately 2.5 months. I attended a job fair, had multiple internal recs. I'm a heavy mil guy mostly. I know guys that are still waiting after multiple years, and others that got the hogan invite after applying only 2 months earlier. There really is no way to know what your timeline will look like.
Good luck!

I've been applying for four years...
Been told repeatedly that I have a great app.

Also, you may check out the "Who's been hired" thread under Major->Stickies. Many folks put their complete timelines on there.

[QUOTE=Sniper66;2131424]only 325 left? I thought I read it was supposed 900-1000 for 2016.
Have they already hired 600 ?

[QUOTE=cynicalaviator;2132376]It seems like ever year for the last three years they say we are planning on hiring 800-1000 this year and we always end up hiring under 600. Hiring always drops off for June, July and August.

Thanks for the reply. Hopefully its just for the summer.

Going to job fair's? (WAI, OBAP, NGPA, etc)

They are not necessary but very helpful to a great amount of people. Plus, if the person out there, who is grouchy and says "I wont go to those job fairs".......well the career fair events might be serving a part of their purpose... and that is to filter out those that can't deal well in a modern corporate diverse environment.
