I emailed the recruiter about 2 weeks ago asking for an update and was told that my application was still under process. They called my references last week and I had an offer on Friday.
Awesome, thanks!

Hey guys,
I have a short question for those in the know... Has the selection process changed recently? No online interview, just online tests and then the personal interview and medical?
Cheers!

That's all there was, plus a psych eval before or after interview. 330ish questions

The April 22nd class is only 2 weeks away, calls went out as noted previously.

Presuming the next course is May 13th if on the 3 week cycle. As far as I know, no one has received a call for this date yet. Would calls be expected to go out this week or the following?

If one had their references checked the last Week of March is that a good sign?

Good luck to all who want the job!

Is there any way to see the progress of your application? I first applied 2.5 years ago and just a few months ago updated my resume on job 18853 non-express portal. Did they slow down interviews due to the Max being grounded or something?

I've had an application in for about the same amount of time and looking for same info. Also curious, when updating your application, should you "save" or "submit" each time? I've been told if you hit submit, it goes to the bottom of the pile. Can someone please elaborate on the best way to update? Thanks!

If you’ve passed the 4 week mark after interviewing that’s usually a good sign.
