I had the same issue for about a week and then they released a whole months worth of interview slots. I would just keep checking a few times each day. I haven't heard about there being a pattern to when they release the interview slots, but it was a Friday when I was able to get mine if that's any help.

It really depends, just keep checking. I’ve had a friend wait a month until he saw slot open up, and a friend wait two days until she saw a spot open up. They both got the email around the same time. However, the one that had the spot open in two days was checking more frequently.
It really depends on cancellations, and them opening more slots, and the first person to spot it gets it.

What is everyone getting for class dates these days? I emailed stating I've hit ATP mins on Monday and just received an email from my recruiter stating to expect a class Nov-Dec. Is anyone getting class dates after recently hitting mins?

Not true at all. Our FOs (especially CRJ) are flying. Block hours have been adjusted to meet current capacity as about 6 months ago.

I was told to expect September/October when I reached out a few weeks ago, and I haven't heard anything since. Expect to be notified about 60 days in advanced....so its looking like October (CRJ). ERJ would be earliest November.

I'm in process of completing new hire tasks before I start. I have almost everything done except the background check but when I click the link to create an account with the 3rd party vendor, I get the following message:

"Error. There was a problem ordering this background. Please contact employment standards."

I contacted them and they said that several people have been getting that error message and are working to correct it. It does say that employment standards has to send you a new link if the first one times out, but I don't believe I ever opened it so I'm not sure how that could happen. Has anyone else been dealing with this error lately?

Hope this is helpful.

Hey all, quick question regarding pay during Indoc:

WHEN exactly do we get the first paycheck? First week? After a month? End of first calendar month? And how often are the paychecks during training, and after training? Monthly? Bi-weekly? Weekly?

Just trying to figure out how long I gotta stretch my last CFI paycheck before I get the first SKW paycheck. Thanks in advance!

Your first paycheck will arrive in the first pay period after you graduate Indoc. We get paid on approximately the 7th and 22nd of each month.

So for example, if you finish Indoc on October 24th, then your first paycheck will arrive around November 7th. You'll also receive backpay from when you were at ATP-CTP as well.

Hey all - I have my ERJ indoc coming up relatively soon and was curious about what reserve flying currently looks like at the various bases.

In my understanding, (1) we get to submit base preferences during indoc and (2) if applicable, this is affected by cadet seniority (mine is summer '22). Is that right?

Obviously that's also all predicated on what bases are even available; I think currently the most junior for ERJ FOs are LAX, SLC, BOI, PDX, and SFO.

I don't really have any strong geographic preferences - my main objective is to pick somewhere I'll actually be able to fly somewhat consistently. Anecdotally, I'd heard ERJ reserve at BOI hasn't been flying much, and SFO is pretty busy. Not sure how true that still is.

I'm sure it ebbs and flows but anyone have any idea what the busier bases for ERJ reserve FOs are? Or, additionally, where is quicker to get a line?

TIA
