Yea, I submitted it within 24 hrs, the CA i spoke with said my time was great, loved the college, but said getting my ATP would put me in another category ( for lack of a better term). I take my ATP ride and get typed end of OCT, hopefully the window is still open at that time so I can update my resume

For the poster who asked, all new hire pilot classes are for EAST domicile positions - PHL, DCA, CLT. However, interviews occur at our training centers in both CLT and PHX. When hired, the first two weeks - INDOC - are held in the PHX training center. Aircraft training is generally in CLT. E190 training will definitely be in CLT, but A320 training *could* possibly be in PHX, though CLT is more likely. As has been mentioned, the lion's share of new hires are going PHL E190 or DCA A320. That's where most of the vacancies are right now.

As with Joey I guess I applied at the right time... My RN was the same as the HR showed me at the job fair.
Seems like you can't update your application, but at least you can update your resume and upload it with the current times.
Good luck to all that applied

I applied when the window first opened from my iPad. I did the 'ol cut & paste resume when I first applied and then tried to upload my resume later from a hotel computer. The website would not let me saying the document could not be upladed because it was "scanned". I plan on trying again when I get a hold of my wife's computer.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Also, what kind of times are people getting called with? So far, I've seen some high time FO's get called. I'm low time (3000s), but have 1000+ Jet PIC. I didn't know how much Cactus valued that.

FWIW, I haven't gotten called, I would consider myself a high time FO
TT 5800
SIC Jet 4000
SIC Turbo Prop 500
PIC 1080
TPIC 0
The recruiter did say getting my ATP would really increase my shot of getting called. I don't know, I am sure they have thousands of much higher time, TPIC fellas who would get called before I ever would.
I didn't realize the Eagle FO who had similar times as me who got an interview was in fact a downgraded CA..........
TT 5800
SIC Jet 4000
SIC Turbo Prop 500
PIC 1080

People keep asking me so I'll just post it up here. Yes, there is a difference in the location of the interview. CLT hire at a much higher percentage than PHX. One week CLT hired everyone they interviewed, but that same week PHX didn't hire anyone. PHX only gets a third of the slots, so they can be more picky.
