Application Completed 10/13, got an email to take the PST within an hour
Went on vacation the following week
Took the PST on 10/23, got a call about an hour later to schedule the interview for 11/7
Did the Admin interview via Teams call on 10/30
Interviewed yesterday 11/7, got the CJO! 6 out of 11 got our CJO's yesterday in my group.
It seems like everyone that had to answer questions about their logbook were escorted away first, and then another guy was escorted away alone 15 min later. Then the rest of us waited a little longer and were taken to a room up front to wait some more until two of the interviewing pilots came in to say we all got CJO's. It was a great experience and as laid back as a Legacy Airline interview could be.
I'm a corporate Chief Pilot with 7000hrs, 2800hrs turbine PIC, multiple type ratings, and 900hrs 121 experience from 15 years ago.

Interviewed earlier this week and got the CJO last night. Awaiting class date offers but trying to look ahead/plan ahead. I’m hearing many recent offers have been mid to late January.
I do have a bit of a small predicament though: I’m getting married in mid March. This will be my 3rd airline, so I wasn’t expecting expecting to apply, interview, and get a CJO so quickly (entire timeline was maybe a month from first app to CJO). Also at my last two trainings, we bid for sim slots and could pick patterns with specific days off and some even had ample chunks of time off throughout. A conversation with a friend recently hired indicates you show up for 2 weeks, home study for 5, then 3 more weeks for sims. And that your sim and partner are scheduled for you, no bidding.
With that in mind, it seems like there would be no flexibility once the training footprint begins, you just get what you get? I only need 2-3 days off for the wedding itself, no honeymoon or anything yet. Is the simplest solution to select a date where the 5 week home study includes those couple of days?
