I agree. Keep calling till you talk to someone, don't just leave a message. Keep calling.

How often are training classes for y'all? (recently saw a post that showed a high ratio of CQFOs to FOs)

Approx how long from training to completion of IOE? Does it vary?

Cheers all!
Dude, I'll give u the benefit of the doubt and assume that you are too busy with your current job, the kids, the wife, and college to be able to read back a few pages or do a google search.

-Two classes per month. Right now, even split btw FO & CQFO. Guys are currently being offered a class start about 6 weeks from interview.
-Three months indoc to finish IOE. Variation of +/- 2 wks waiting for sims.
-RATP mins- do you have the written? They are giving guys the ATP chk ride as part of the type rating sim chk so u don't have to pay some rip-off DPE 600 clams to flog you all day.
-google TSA and see that they are holding recruiting meet&greets all over the country right now. Also see on the web site the email of the recruiting dept.
Make it happen for yourself.

And in case u were wondering:
-The interview is not hard. Very few tech q's - Scan an AIM for for a couple of evenings and you'll breeze thru. Sim ride is in a Saber Something, so if you've not flown a jet before, try to get few minutes in an AATD, not an expensive sim, just something set up to simulate a fast airplane.
-Pay during training sucks- $1500/ mo gross until completion of IOE.
-Hotel is double occupancy (although recruiting will say, "it just starts out as double, then u get ur own room"). But after all, you're in beautiful St. Louis so how bad can it be...

Try again in a couple days. You have a bunch of CQFOs being released from OE straight to reserve this week.

Better than some pilots getting denied in initial due to trying to swap/drop XR time for March.

If they are sitting CA reserve, they are getting CA pay. Not bad.

Where in the contract does it say that?

Just found out yesterday that we wont get per diem until off of IOE. That was a lovely bit of news.
