I had my resume in for almost a month and it just said "screening". So, I just reapplied with my new info and changed my email and password. I got the email days later with an interview date. They got the info from the new application. It is a bad system they have and I don't know why this works, but just reapply. It will probably work for you as well.

I had gotten disqualified, reapplied the same day and I think about a week later got the email. But has anyone who got the email gotten a response back because I chose next Monday for the interview date and still no call or email?

How long after they say you're hired do you have to start? Is there anyway you get a month or three of time in there or do they just BOOM start you? I have students i'd like to finish up. No reason to leave them hanging. Plus I only have $400 left on credit card and I'm debt free w00t! Tossed the visa down to get the CFII rating and it was a biatch to get rid of.

Well...I think you can ask to wait 3 months and they will probably say "yeah, sure, you can reapply in 3 months". Why would you apply if you weren't ready to move on? If you are really that committed to finishing your students why not just wait and apply when you're ready?
I'm not sure what in the name of all that is good and holy would make you want to do that What are you going to do? Get up at 5am, get the 6am flight to IAH (assuming it isn't canceled or delayed, Colgan's reliability is not stellar not to mention you are not eligible for the jumpseat if the flight is full) Sit in class from 8am-5pm (yes, class is everyday M-F). Catch the 6pm flight home and go instruct at 7pm? When did you plan on studying, eating, sleeping or pooping? Assuming you make it through ground school, how do plan on doing the sims when your schedule goes all screwy? I think the short answer to your question is WTF ARE YOU THINKING!?!?! If you aren't ready to leave your current job, DON'T!

I didn't know class schedule. I didn't know if it was twice a week or five days a week at that point in time. That's why I asked if I could just hop. However now that I know I realize I'd just stay there.
Why apply if you aren't ready to move on? Because I've never heard of a job where you apply, get called, get hired so quickly. My sister is high up in IBM. She didn't start there. But it took around 4 months for them to process her applications and do multiple interviews. Why did I apply early? Because I hear of people that didn't get a call for a couple months. I don't know what you did but I only have one job and this is it. I have bills and rent to pay. I'm not going to be a fool and wait till the job is over so I can pay all my moving expenses to leave this town, then sit on my arse for 3 months with no job waiting on the phone to ring. I'm doing my best to have a smooth transition from one place to another. No down time. There are other job offerings waiting for me here. However they require contracts I'm not yet willing to sign. I'd rather be offered a job and have to turn it down till a later date then putting all my eggs in one basket, waiting a few months for a call, then finding out I didn't get it to be stuck with no job, no money, and no prospects. I have a somewhat short window from when this job is completed to when I need be working somewhere else. If I don't get it I can take another offer I have. However it expires shortly after this gig is over. I didn't know how often class was nor how long between hire and start. If the answer would have been, a month or so, that would give me time to find a replacement or finish my guys and have the airforce ship the rest to colorado. I don't want to screw anyone over. Some things require planning in advance to executed properly.
WTF was I thinking???? I was thinking in advance.
