Is it correct to assume that successful interviewees are placed into a pot with a score, then when a class is planned they are picked in order and notified? If so does anyone know the planned classes for the year and around what date of each month they start contacting people?

I think it's generally referred to as a "pool", but I guess "pot" works as well, Cheech. In any case, yes, that's how it works, as far as anyone knows. They claim they're shooting for 300 this year. I don't think there's any regularity to when they contact. If it starts with "502", answer it.

The average seems to be 9 months or so from interview to a CJO. With no communication in that period.

Although, there was a post on the RST UPS page that said some are getting the CJO two weeks after interviewing

People have supposedly waited years. From sampling my class, I'd say the average is more like 4 or 5 months, and, as alluded to above, it seems to be dropping fast.

A person who finished the training very recently was in the pool ~17 months. Over dinner I asked about the background and all the stats seemed very typical to me, really nice person and there’s really no clue as to why the wait was so long.
The newhire was ok with me sharing this info except for the the specific details. That’s why I’m somewhat vague here..

So basically, yes, sadly the rumors of looong pool stays for some are still true.

For those with apps in and who are currently available, what are you putting for your availability date? Aka, when you can begin work. Should one be updating that to the current date whenever you update your profile? Or is leaving it in the past just fine? Thanks for the insight!

Default Section II: Flight Time

Section II: Flight Time of the the UPS online application is not letting me add General Aviation AC and time (Piper/Cessna, Single Engine, etc).

Is this true for everyone?
Or, am I doing something wrong?

Pretty sure it says they don’t want that. Recommend re-read instructions.
