…were you less than honest about your availability date? Or is there some other (hopefully legitimate) factor driving this very unusual line of questioning?

Wait, what? Planning ahead to push back a class date that you don’t have yet, and won’t even have on the day you may get a CJO?

We found out our newborn son has a blood disease in the last month, we we need some time to sort him out with permanent child care. Yes I am aware that I don't have a CJO, however my thinking was to at least have some type of plan IF I did get one. I will just email pilot selection to see what they think. Thank you anyway.
In this circumstance, I think they would work with you. If you just weren’t upfront about your actual availability, they’d be less than happy. It just got my spidey senses tingling, because I’ve known guys that were let go over fudging their availability dates (military dudes), and it’s something you don’t want to mess with.

Having said that, they are not robots. you have major life event already planned like your wedding, birth of kiddo, they will 100% work with you.
At the end of the HR interview, they will ask you to confirm (and initial) that the date of availability on your app is correct....I would probably bring up your life issue at that time.

When I interviewed 5+ years ago, we had to sign/initial something that stated we had one shot....if we turned down the Indoc date when offered, there would not be another.

I'll say one thing for the hiring folks, they are very willing to work with you.
Just be honest and upfront with them
