Withdrew from United after they invited me for an interview because I want to leave as many bridges standing as I can.

If I don’t get a class from UPS May-July I’m leaning toward starting with Omni. I really like their positive space “commute.”
Dont know if you have a class date with SWA yet, but I would recommend hanging out there over Omni while you wait on UPS. Omni may be easier short term, but if UPS never offers a class SWA is a better option for a career. Totally, agree with your desire to avoid burning bridges. I pulled all of my apps once UPS gave me a class date.

My thoughts are to go with whichever can offer me training in May (which is my first month of terminal military leave). If both offer May training I'll probably withdraw from SWA and go with Omni. Though I really enjoyed my time at my SWA interview and have many happy friends there.

Found out today that I didn't pass the Delta AON online assessment, so they're 3 months away at best now.

yes, that is a very good point about SWA and I suppose if UPS ends up not offering a CJO it would be a better destination for a career for sure.

Are there any poolies from the past that have never been called for a class? Or, historically speaking, has it always just been a matter of time? According to what I'm reading here on APC, some have waited as long as two years, but the call came nonetheless.

Unfortunately pre covid there were people in the pool for 4 or 5 years before finally getting the letter telling them they are no longer being considered. I’d guess that was exceptionally rare, but happened nonetheless.

Havent heard of that kind of thing for a long time, and hopefully that’s a practice never to return.

Thanks.

Hopefully, the current hiring environment has changed their strategy. I guess we'll see.

Don’t think so. One word, “arrogance”.

Final Interview October 5th, Congratulations e-mail October 7th. No news since then. Although it is rare it does happen. I do have first hand knowledge of one individual that was never offered a job after 2 years. he finally gave up and got on with AA. As stated before I hope this practice is not still in use.

Good Luck to us all
