I applied at the beginning of August and received the questionnaire in early to mid-August. After submitting it, I got a call from HR about a week later to review my details, including TT, medical, and group 1 validity. My interview is scheduled for next week.
Can anyone chime in on the current pool times and current open positions? I'd love to move back home after spending almost 2 years backpacking at my 702.
For reference 1050TT, 700MPIC all 702.

You have MPIC so you will be competitive if you can hold ATPL once you get 1500hrs at Jazz. You shouldn't wait to long.krueger wrote: ↑Fri Sep 19, 2025 7:36 am I applied at the beginning of August and received the questionnaire in early to mid-August.

Even the decisions that backfired were learning moments. I deeply regret wasting years of my life at that airline, I guess I did learn to never trust a flow agreements again. From the new hire bios my resume would have been competitive. Jazz has no identity and a corrupt MEC.cdnavater wrote: ↑Wed Sep 17, 2025 12:38 pmOne regret your ENTIRE life, wow!

I think he's right, maybe a bit on the cynical side, but I've never flown with anyone on the new pension who wanted to stick there till retirement.
I’m curious, is this based strictly on the flow to AC? If so, how do you know you weren’t accepted because they had to meet a quota? Do you think your resume stood out so much you would have been one of the OTS that went ahead of the Jazz pilots, seriously!
Re: Jazz recent FO hirings
If you were promised flow to AC by Jazz and AC broke that agreement, your beef is with AC.
Don’t get me wrong, it sucks, but I feel like your hatred towards Jazz is misplaced.
The state Jazz is in currently is a shame. It’s still full of great people and some decent flying if you’re the top 25% of your base, position and aircraft.
Hopefully some aspects will be improved by the ULP ( pay etc)

Re: Jazz recent FO hirings
I'd rather serve time in jail than work for Jazz again.
The compensation package in federal penitentiary is vastly superior to the first 4 years at Jazz. No comparisons.
Free housing ? Food ? Gym ? Books ? Sleep schedule ? Reserve ?
Rape ? Sure it might happens here and there but so does it at Jazz, and it's with your consent.
It's nothing less than a shady workplace run by untrustworthy leaders and protected by a corrupt MEC.
BTW, enjoy your Lincoln Aviator and your union funded Hawaii vacations you worthless scumbag POS

Re: Jazz recent FO hirings
I know I am going to regret this but...
I don't usually offer unsolicited career advice but when asked, I usually make the following recommendation:
"Never accept a position anywhere that you do not want to work at, for the sole reason that it is a stepping stone to where you want to go. First, you will have an awful time getting where you want to go and second, if and when you do get there, you may find that this was not the wonderful nirvana you thought it would be. That is if you don't outright hate it."
If at one point you have been unhappy at Jazz, chances are the reason for it is in the above and I would bet a big chunk of money that you are just as unhappy where you are now, than when you were at Jazz. Thankfully, in my circle of colleagues, the vocal unhappy ex-Jazz pilot is an exception, not a rule.
Never forget what drew you to the industry in the first place. The main difference between a happy pilot and a sad pilot is not where they work or how much they make. It's looking forward to the drive to work rather than the drive home.
On that note, for Jazz hopeful looking for advice, if getting to AC ASAP is the main, or worse only, factor affecting your career decisions, it really does not matter what path you choose, Jazz or other. It will be the wrong decision.
