I haven't heard anything for November. Oct 29th and December 3rd is what I've heard. It's been awhile though, so things probably have changed.

Word is that ground schools are full until the new year. This is apparently the reason for the latest "letter" putting people into an unofficial hold pool.

Anyone heard the rumor that all the groundschools filled for the rest of the year are all Jazz people?

Not all pilots will be from Jazz but the majority in the groundschools are going to be pilots coming over from Jazz.

Not me, how much time do they give you between proposed start date and medical, or is there any standard?

Did she call you for the medical? Did she mean course dates for the New Year or additional ones for this Fall/Winter? The wait is killing me!!!

Congrats Sultan!
So what does the "competitive candidate" thing mean anyway? And how many of these so-called candidates are out there?

"Competitive candidate" led to a medical for me. I am still awaiting a job offer with a course date.

pinkus,
so what kind of time frame are you expecting for a course date?
How many are in the same boat as Pinkus? Is the list longer than the available dates?

All the information that I can gather points towards sometime after the holiday season for courses. I don't think that they have started slotting people yet.
My medical was within the last 10 days. I was given a list of dates that had availability within five days.
I interviewed in July.

Do you guys figure they just want to get the medicals out of the way just in case they add people to current GS's or add GS's all together?

The e mail for the medical indicated that they were getting closer to potential course dates. That is about it.
