barring any economic downturn they should be around for awhile (2030ish)… it’s not normally difficult to snag a bid award for 756 fleet in a vacancy bid if your unable to get one when hired… but depends on what domicile you want.

Just bid left seat. You probably wouldn't have to sell as many things.

Any updates on what kind of questions they ask on the interview? Or just all standard TMATW?

They ask behavioral and technical questions

The interview is you with a Captain and an HR person and is divided into a behavioral and then a technical portion. The behavioral protion is 5-6 TMAAT questions from your professional past to assess your decision-making process. The technical portion is walking through a hypothetical flight with you as the Captain. They'll provide your some prep paperwork to have more or less memorized prior to the interview for this portion. You'll be asked a few generic technical knowledge questions, be confronted with a small enroute abnormal procedure, and deal with a diverstion at the destination. It's nothing too difficult for someone who has flown 121 for a while.

https://www.aviationinterviews.com has many descriptions of what the interview is like from pilots who have gone through it, including whether or not they were hired. It's around $40 for a month of access and I found it very helpful during my preparation (don't forget to unsubscribe when you're done with it to avoid getting charged again).

I also used Cage Consulting. Their interview prep package is $450 for an ALPA member and was very helpful in identifying weak spots. It's pricey, but in my opinion worth it (how much are you willing to put into getting this job?).

This and other threads have a lot of information about the interview. I'd go back and read through them.

I'm soon-to-be former ULCC, so feel free to PM if you'd like.

Any word on how long it takes for the Hogan invite to be sent out after an application is locked? My app was locked about 10ish days ago, but I haven’t really gotten the Hogan invite yet. Checked my spam as well.

Updated my app towards the end of December when I left for an LCC.

Thanks!

I requested help and information regarding the interview process on this forum and received everything you need to know. I will send you a play-by-play next weekend.

Good Luck, in Unity...
