Before your first orientation day? No. They'll give you the home study and tell you what you need to know for ground school.

Also have an idea of how you're going to get to the airport FAST to make your 1430 flight!

From what I hear, there are only around 16 new hires in September, 24 in October, and 40 in November. So we are only talking about 80 pilots being hired so far, out of the 400 plus pilots they are going to need to hire over the next 15 months. We are now down to 492 pilots, with 40 more leaving to Delta within the next 1.5 months. Considering the new upgrade time requirement rules and the number of current CFI's we have recently hired, we still have not even interviewed our most junior captain, who would upgrade in late 2015 (assuming you have the 1000 hours upgrade time requirement met).

Are you saying upgrades will be close to 1 year?

Hey thanks for that info! That helps a lot! I interview next week so could I expect to be given a December class? (Assuming the interview goes well)
