I don't plan on any hiring for at least a year- part of me thinks at least two or three. Not sure what my status is, but if I get hired I hope they will honor my 4/2019 date for benefits and company seniority.

This is a career change for me (at age 35) and I planned everything out to be hired at R-ATP minimums. Once contracts, pay, upgrades, expected legacy hire year can be figured out again I will run the numbers to see what makes sense.

I don't know if it will make sense to invest more of my time teaching to gain hours to get make myself more desirable. Especially without a full atp or type rating I am not very desirable, even with the cadet program, when compared to out of work guys.

I plan to ride this out in my current career, paying my student loans for flight training off slowly but surely (at least I locked in low interest rates) but my timing could only be worse if I was 4 months faster and sent home from training.

Have any cadets heard anything? Recruiting is still posting "feel good" posts on social media so someone could give us all an update and say- "hold for 12 months, expect further clearance in 3rd quarter 2021" or something.

Unfortunately you don’t have any seniority or longevity as you were never actually hired and on property.

I agree though, an email simply stating “no updates for now but your still in the pool” would be reassuring. I’m planning a couple years...hoping to hold our class seniority but would not be surprised if we eventually must reinterview. That would be a worst case scenario but best to hope for the best and plan for the worst.

As for the OP, you must not be paying much attention.
