NJ Hiring Process

[Helmsalee]

Aca, it varies a lot. Some weeks the board does not meet. Some have heard within 2 days. A friend who just finished indoc was told to expect to hear by Tuesday (he interviewed mid-week). The call actually did not come until the following Sunday. It depends on both the selection board schedule and when the classes are finalized (date, aircraft, etc.). As far as I know, the record is a little over 3 months.

Has anyone who's been accepted into the interview pool waited longer than a year for an interview.

I got the email for an interview date, then the phone interview. I interviewed on feb 20,21. We had a 20 question test which I made a 100% and I aced the interviews and sim ride. I still didn't get hired. Out of 14 guys in my class only about 6 or 7 were hired. I am typed and currently flying citations already so I don't know what they are looking for so all you can do is your best and hope you role the dice just right. In other words, don't get your hopes up like I did....

They told us at recurrent that everyone in the interview process is being told to only hire who they feel is in the top 10 percent of each interviewees background- if from the airlines the top 10 percent of airline pilots, if from the military the top 10 percent of military pilots, etc. Overall one in three who interview are being hired now and they also said that the LORs will only help to get the interview and aren't really supposed to carry weight on the interview itself- each applicant will sink or swim based on the interview only. That is just what we were told last month and things can and do change. Good luck all.

Guess your idea of "ace" and theirs are not the same.
