I assume you’re currently employed at jazz. Heard a lot of people are in the same boat as you. I’ll say what everyone else says. No news is good news. What’s at trial here is your patience.

Good luck.
No, I am not, actually. Flying overseas!
Ahh, my apologies. I have many friends waiting in the queue who interviewed Dec/Jan. Most of them are jazz. Only one has heard back.

Congrats! May I know the breakdown of your flight experience? And when was the request for background check? Thanks!

Doubtful unfortunately. With the summer months coming AC will most likely protect block interests over honoring flow. One will hope that they will compensate after. But once again also unlikely.

Thanks for that info. Just out of interest - did they have you do two medicals? On my interview they did the medical on the same day just before the interview. Just trying to figure out if I would have to come back again before any potential class start.

Negative. My medical was scheduled on a separate day from the interview.

In your case. I would expect 3-4 months after interview to hear back whether yay/nay. Could be longer, it depends on what AC is trying to do regarding their flying block and current training requirements or availability. Best of luck!

I expect you’ll hear back before end of May. Again, disclaimer…. These are absolute guesses from what I’ve been seeing. Your seven-three rating might push you a little up the list here.

Wait you can get a pfo after 4 months? I thought those were dished out within the first 3 weeks?

They generally dish em quicker than offer letters. But yes, there no official time line for PFO letters or offer sheets.

How many classes per month can we expect? As summer is approaching, do they freeze classes until the fall?

Just got the background check last week. Interviewed mid February. Medical 1 week later. So technically anything from 2 weeks to a month I assume to hear back after the background check is complete?

Two classes per month for the foreseeable future. I expect that classes will run throughout the summer.
