No I don't. I'm also worried because I applied to C5 in November 19 but ended up going to ExpressJet because C5 wasn't hiring FOs at the time. C5 resumed hiring FO's and left me a couple voicemails in February to set up an interview, but I never got around to responding to them because I was in training at XJT, so I hope that isn't held against me even though I should've gotten back to them.

You probably burned that bridge. GL

The company from what I understand is currently looking for Captain Qualified pilots. We will be upgrading new hires while they are still in ground school.
My understanding is we are looking for Aviate candidates that would be top of the stack followed by 145 drivers that have left seat mins followed by 145 pilots in general. An internal rec from someone at C5 makes a very large difference as well.
The company is being picky who they hire right now. Also, training will not be holding everyone's hand. Only 1 or 2 extra sims per person or less than 50 hours of IOE kind of thing.

If all of that is true, then why did they extend numerous offers to people who weren't CA qualified? Several are in class right now! Aviate at the top of the stack? CPZ pilots weren't in Aviate or 145 pilots for the most part. Trans State pilots weren't in Aviate either, yet some of those guys from both groups have class dates while many Aviate-CA qualified applicants haven't even received a phone screen, much less a class date! Is all of this just a case of the recruiting department being overwhelmed? And is the training department going to see similar issues as the ramp up continues?
