I was a Day 1 guy, received an invite for the Hogan 5 1/2 Mo prior to my available date, and got an interview date for Mar (about 6 weeks after Hogan complete). I made sure my app was updated every 2 weeks and kept medical current. No issues with the Hogan, I just tried to provide sincere, consistent answers (they seem to ask similar things different ways). Here is my data if that helps anybody: Ok undergrad GPA, 2x Graduate degrees with high GPA, O-6, Safety, DO, SQ/CC, OG/CC, heavy and fighter time, IP in 3 aircraft, FCF and EP in single engine fighter. 4K Total time, 3K PIC, 2K ME. Last flew military in 2015 but flew 103 hours in C-172 in last year. So not sure if the "more complex than 172" is really valid. But in the app I did say I "flew XXX hours in last year and XXX in complex turbine in last 24 months", so maybe that helped. I had not done any "volunteer" stuff until Sep 16 when I signed up for 3x professional aviation related organizations. I'm using Emerald Coast for interview prep...so if I get a job offer after the interview I will follow up with success of fail. I have not heard a peep from Delta (other than email saying my app had errors), UPS, FedEx, or SW where I also applied. Best of Luck to All the Transition'ers!!!

Thanks! Good luck to those still waiting for a call.
At the event the group lead guy (by pure coincidence he was also the pilot rep for my interview) said I exceeded all the minimums. But would need recent flying to get a call. I asked Bill Kennedy about that as well and he said I would need something more complex than 172 to be considered. I said that I had not flown complex turbine in just over a year and he said that if it was that recent I should say that in my app somehow and it would not be a big deal. that is really all the feedback I received at the event. I was 100% ready to spend some time at Skywest getting recent turbine time but got the email inviting me to take hogan about 5 1/2 months before my avail date.

How long from your CJO to the expected Indoc date?

Is that driven by your availability date, or is there really a ~5 month wait right now? (Congrats, btw!)
