Well, first you want to get the actual offer, but when you do you could mention to them what your availability is for earlier classes. People do drop out after scheduling sometimes, spouse giving birth, illness or injury, or sometimes even accepting a CJO elsewhere. It is sometimes possible to move up a class or two. But I’d wait until you actually have the offer in hand to even ask the question of what’s the earliest class date available. Then it will show eagerness. That’s better than having it come across as arrogance even though - yeah, barring outright fraud between what you claimed on your application and what your logbooks actually show, the CJO is now probably yours to lose.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I believe classes are filled through August or at least part way through August. Congrats on the logbook check, as others have stated as long as you don't offend anyone it's a mere formality.

Congratulations! From what I understand the job is basically yours at this point. Still waiting for my initial email for a phone call. What was your virtual interview like?

logbook reviews have been taking under 10 min and people are leaving with yellow folders and offers on the spot.

Don’t show up like it’s a done deal. It’s not. You are still being interviewed. Dress appropriately and stay humble. It’s not in the bag until you show up for class.

I apologize for implying that I ‘had the offer,’ as that was not my intent at all. I’m trying to plan to the best of my ability; especially with a family I have to think about. Fingers crossed all goes well and I appreciate your feedback!

Right now its running about 6-8 weeks from CJO to Class Date... people going in for logbook review now are probably getting last week of August or early Sept class dates.

So I'm just curious. I've heard there is a pool day in new hire class. So what happens if an applicant can't swim?
