Couple of questions.
What does a CAT II checkride cover? And after the checkride, do you get an additional 120 days before you need another checkride or not?
Reason I ask is because unless I get a line in September, there is no way I will make my 100 hours so I'll have to get an extension. Even then I dunno if its possible. I finished OE with minimum hours and have only gotten 2 hours since (highspeed reserve). Have a little less than two months left until my 120.

I finished OE back in February. I had the same problem as you (and many others) in that I had to receive a line check to extend me out to 150 days. Basically, it was just an out and back with an LCA. Upon getting close to my 150, I had to go out on a CVG turn on my day off (premium pay) and beat my pumpkin day by 2.4 hours. Missing that day would've been no fun as the result was a checkride and an oral all over again.

Still interviewing 1 day a month, that was their published minimums before but I assume the people they are interviewing have more competitive times than that, IMHO

Stew - I hope you called HR and canceled. With only interviewing 1 day a month those spots are coveted. Do yourself and a fellow pilot a favor and be sure to let XJ know... if you haven't already.
