I am pretty sure that has always been the case.

If I am not mistaken, you needed 2 years at Jazz to be placed on the PML. It's just the same policy that has migrated to the portal AFAIK.

No you don't NEED it but it's preferred according to the memo that came out. I know multiple people who have went over, not in the 1.0, but the one that came after (not the current portal) who were at Jazz for less. On the old FPML, two years was not required. Only an ATPL and 2000 hours.

But yes, it was apparently too help stabilize things a bit. Last summer our roster was pillaged by AC causing many delays and flight cancellations due to no pilots. I did 5 months straight of over 100 credits. This year it's been the complete opposite.

No you don't.
I'm not saying that is the case for everyone. What I am saying is I DO know ONE guy who spent 1 year at Jazz on the CRJ and is now flying Mainline on the 37.
Not someone who was hired last year. Maybe 2016, but no way anyone from 2017. Want to know why? The PML list closed on Dec 1st 2016 and didn't reopen until something like May of this year. There is no option for a jazz pilot to apply OTS. Secondly, there have been next to no interviews offered for anyone signed up on this new portal and virtually all that have interviewed have been here over two years.

So basically what you are saying is you know someone who was at the company for less than a year, apply in May as an FO with less than the asked for 2 years at Express AND not in the left seat, get hired on one of first classes after the portal opened and is already on line in the 37.

Feel free to post or PM their last name I'll happy look up the older seniority lists and be proven wrong. Actually I hope to be proven wrong.
You are right Lightchop. My bud did get hired at Jazz in 2016 (april) and moved to mainline in 2017 (may). He was an FO on the CRJ and moved to sn FO spot on the 37.

I know someone that did this too around the same time, he also had a PhD so I'm sure that helped. Perhaps we're thinking of the same person?

Lots of interviews going on. I have one coming up. I know a few other Jazz people who have interviewed recently. My one buddy just did one and the HR rep said they are hiring 200 people before Christmas. Call back times seem to be around 1 month.

Lots of people hired in 2015 by Jazz on the last PIT course. Just put at least your 2 years in. These days a good substitute for no degree or aviation college would be a good chunk of left seat 705.
Upgrade asap, and be patient.

This is basically my plan. Well it's basically done aside from actually getting a call. Fingers crossed for this fall or spring.

+1

It's not time to make a change, just relax, take it easy
You're still young, that's your fault, there's so much you have to go through...

hmmm...I'd ask around if I were you...something's up...I personally know a guy who got into Jazz (CRJ) last year and is already on mainline flying the 37...
I know that someone you are talking about.. He got on to Jazz in 2016 and AC in 2017 and flies the 737Max.

Yes. I thought he got in last year but it was 2016 jazz and 2017 mainline max. Time is just flying too fast.
