Now if you already have a class date lined up, you're probably good to go. You could even ask airline B to push your interview back a bit.
BTW, if you base your decision on "if a world event happens", you'll never take the necessary chances to make anything happen.

I didn't mean base your decision on "if a world event happens", rather, take a job offer now (you can always jump ship later) as insurance against a world event.

I'm really am glad everything worked out for you, but I know several folks that were set on AA, and have now had to move on due to the year long delay in getting a class. They can always jump ship to AA if a class date ever gets offered. If a class date doesn't get offered, they'll have a great career at choice B or C. Ironically, I wasn't really interested in AA, but that's where I am, and pretty optimistic about my future here.

What was the October 2014 and January 2015 pool count? 50?

It will be interesting if the email groups will give us the total CJO count and the actually number that accept AA's offer if and when it comes.

A year isn't all that bad. I will be in the first class in Jan at DAL, it will be almost 8 months to the day since my hire date.

United CJO!
7300TT
1400 PIC Turbine
Currently at a regional airline
5 LORs, 1 internal

I used Centerline Prep, and I would HIGHLY recommend them. They truly made me feel confident about walking into the interview.

I had the same issue ... trying to max out terminal and PTDY to move availability to the left while also budgeting LV to attend interviews & job fairs. I would definitely burn days to attend a high-payoff job fair like WIA or OBAP or to interview with a top-tier airline. I wound up getting a class date starting 13 days after my last mil day, so wasn't on ice like some recent AA and DAL guys, but I was hired by airline X while in training at airline Y and it was nice to know I had a plan B available if necessary.

I received the "Fix-it" emails from Delta this afternoon. From reading a bit back through the forums, does this imply they will offer an invite to interview? Have others out there received the "fix-it" email and never heard back?

Thanks

I ended up pushing my avail date in airlineapps, for all the airlines who haven't called, to this summer, so I don't have to turn down a potential interview until on the property at SWA. The first day I can start is 28 March, using all terminal leave and PTDY, and have to fly to Dallas on the 29th to start class on the 30th.

Easy decision once I received my class date. I would have to slip a class, and at least 25 seniority numbers, to interview at a "back-up airline". I use quotes for back-up because I'd be honored to work at any major, I just happened to get hired by my first choice first.

I got a "fix-it" email. I fixed it...I think. That was March 2014.
