The Envoy Air process: Based on applicant reports, Envoy's hiring timeline typically spans several months with significant variability. After submitting an application, candidates should expect 2-4 months before receiving an interview invitation, with ATP-CTP written completion often required before application review. Interview-to-CJO (conditional job offer) appears to occur within days to weeks, followed by a background check and pre-offer stage. The critical bottleneck occurs after receiving a pre-offer: candidates report waiting 4-6 months or longer for an actual class date assignment, with some waiting beyond the stated 12-month validity window. Multiple posters note that CJOs expire after 12 months, though Envoy recruiting has reportedly advised candidates in the pipeline not to worry about this deadline. If rejected (TBNT), reapplication is possible, though no explicit reapplication window is detailed in these posts. OTS (off-the-street) candidates report longer waits than cadet program graduates, and having ATP-CTP written completed appears critical for moving through initial screening. [forum-scraper] After passing your interview, expect Captain Review Board evaluation within 2-4 weeks. Once approved, a Conditional Job Offer (CJO) typically arrives within 2 weeks to 2 months. Following CJO acceptance, plan for Orientation to begin approximately 6 weeks later. Orientation itself lasts roughly 3-6 weeks, followed by Basic Indoctrination spanning 1 month. Overall, the timeline from interview to starting Indoctrination averages 4-5 months, though individual timelines vary based on class availability and training pipeline capacity.
