Because I live in San Francisco, currently commute to ORD for a not so great regional and my qol will improve tremendously, even if initially based in lax. I also believe in the product and like that everyone I've come in contact at VX seems happy, upbeat and encouraging.

now having said that, its a captains discretion and you have to convince the gate agent. we don't have a lot of people who do the walk to the gate area to look for jumpseaters.
the company will not provide space available accommodations to get you to the interview. your on your own. good luck

They can set up a non-rev pass out of a VX city. Also, even if she is a corporate pilot, as long as she brings her ID, passport, and tells the gate agent she'd like to jumpseat and that her carrier is not CASS, she should be able to ride in the back. We take non-reciprocating airlines and corporate companies, at Captain's discretion.

It depends, it took 6 days for me. I've heard a recent story that an interview group still hadn't heard back for a long time (yay or nay) and they were pushing 2 weeks.

My friend interviewed there almost a week and a half ago. He hasn't heard anything yet. I think the classes are full until May or June. I don't know if they are doing several weeks of interviews to get the best for the next class.

I interviewed last week. From what I understand, March and April classes are filled. They don't know if and when they will open another class. Could be May or June. All the hiring they are doing right now is for a pool.
