The April 22nd class is only 2 weeks away, calls went out as noted previously.

Presuming the next course is May 13th if on the 3 week cycle. As far as I know, no one has received a call for this date yet. Would calls be expected to go out this week or the following?

If one had their references checked the last Week of March is that a good sign?

Good luck to all who want the job!

Is there any way to see the progress of your application? I first applied 2.5 years ago and just a few months ago updated my resume on job 18853 non-express portal. Did they slow down interviews due to the Max being grounded or something?

I've had an application in for about the same amount of time and looking for same info. Also curious, when updating your application, should you "save" or "submit" each time? I've been told if you hit submit, it goes to the bottom of the pile. Can someone please elaborate on the best way to update? Thanks!

If you’ve passed the 4 week mark after interviewing that’s usually a good sign.

Folks have been rejected after 3 months and accepted after 3 and 1/2

It's been done before when interviews were much harder to get. My little company averages one per year but bear in mind it's never been one of the sub-thousand hour group who are climbing over each other to get to the door. I think AC's lowest bar to the interview is 2000 hours total.

Anyone know if there is a course on May 13th? I’m just going on every 3 weeks so I’m guessing there is. And they should be filling that one soon. Have any calls gone out?

If anyone gets a call for that course, could you post it on here just so we’re all in the loop?

Thanks to everyone for all the info so far! It’s very helpful
