Should I wait?
Hello All!
This is my first post so I just want to say hi!
I am looking at applying to CX and was wondering if I should wait a few months. I would like to apply for DEFO based here in the USA. At my current airline I'm going to upgrade in May and should be finished with the upgrade by June. I currently have approx 3200hrs total, most of it either turbojet or turboprop. My upgrade has been postponed about 3 years since 9/11. Since I did not have the money I do not have my ATP yet, I will get it with the type and upgrade. Should I wait to apply to CX in hopes of getting invited for the DEFO interview or is my time still low enough that I would qualify for SO regardless of whether I have the ATP yet or not? My current plan is to finish the upgrade then apply.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks a lot! That was my first instinct, get the upgrade out of the way and then go for it. I am starting to prepare now since a lot of the upgrade stuff and the interview items go hand in hand. I'll be in IAH for training so maybe I'll see you around!
