1 day!

When I did my 1st initial interview, they called me the next day. Than got to prepare for about a week. The best advice that I can give you is BE YOURSELF, be CONFIDENT, and Tell them about how passionate you truely are about flying. I miss to point this out when I did my interview, plus be Clear on what you want to say. There are loads of stuff in here to help you out in terms of questions they will ask you and so forth. Don't let the nervousness get to you, remember this is your best chance in becoming a pilot! Best of luck to you!

Talking

Submitted my application more than 2.5 yrs ago. I've been updating my records ever since. Have not heard from them until now. That's me, might not be your case. Check out my thread

CX DESO >4000hrs But NO JOY! http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.php?t=237576


Good luck to all!

I went to the Air Inc Job Fair in July and got an e-mail 3 weeks later. The 1st interview is in SFO on 8th Sept. Looking foward to the interview. Anybody else in SFO on the 8th?

Submitted app, in 3 weeks got a call and email for interview 4 weeks later. I was really surprised because most of my friends waited 3 months, so I thought I had more time to prepare. 5100 TT, 700 PIC regional jet.

Yeah a mate of mine got a response in two weeks confirming the interview! I got an email about a month ago to say they have my application. But thats it, wish I knew what that means. They did not say to update in six months or that they are not considering me, or we will be in touch. Just thanks we got your app! Did you get the same email localiseralive?

No mate, I haven't applied yet. I have a few things to sort out during the next three months and just wanted to know if I had time on my hands. I will apply as soon as I have more free time to study and focus on the interviews.

Good luck mate,

Danger

3 weeks from Application to phone call for the interview 3 OCT. To the Gentleman waiting to send in his app - don't. I had one sitting on my desk three years ago and I delayed sending it in. As I've seen from some of the other postings on this website and others - they can stop hiring at any time!
