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!!!
Interview prep was good, I felt well prepared and got the CJO today.

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.

Welcome aboard. You'll love being a half wing for no other reason than the free beer!

How long from your CJO to the expected Indoc date?

Thanks Dave. The board at the interview said expect June trading, but the welcome letter said expect late summer or fall...so not sure yet when I will start.

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