Thought he was asking a sincere question instead of making a point...my bad.

I'm sure this would completely depend on your resume. If you're a check airman on Boeing, Airbus or MD equipment with a billion hours PIC then probably not long. If you're a Regional FO with 2000 hours SIC probably not until you get some better experience.

You gotta watch those Gulfstream Drivers... or that's what I've been told.

I know six of us who have been in the pool from 3 months to two weeks. Still patiently waiting...

Keep in mind, you're in a competitive pool. If they score out of a possible 100 points (for easy math) and the threshold to be put in the pool is 80, if you scored an 81 on the interview and those after you scored higher, they'll be called for a class before you will. There are people who've been in the pool for three years who have watched hundreds of pilots hired ahead of them. Others have only had to wait a couple weeks before getting a call for class. It just depends on how you scored and where you sit in the pool. There's no way to know either of those things, so ya just gotta wait.....

Congrats Embraer! I got the pool letter same day. When did u interview? I know of someone who has been in the pool nearly a year. Met another guy who was in less than 24 hours, and another who got a class date the day following the interview bypassing the pool altogether. Let's hope our pool time is short...

Confirmed for 23 Oct class as well. Interviewed 8 Aug, they offered job and class at interview, never got a pool letter. Just last week they called to confirm class and officially give CJO. Retiring from Marine Corps on 5 Oct (terminal) and we've already move to L'ville since wife is from here.

Did stint at CAL, left for NJA, furloughed, returned to MC as AR(FTS).

4300TT
3400 Turbine PIC
T-34/T-45/F-18/F-5/UC-35/Citation X/B-737.
