VRA or CTO Timeline?

NYcGaNgStEr Senior Member Brooklyn, NY

Any VRA or CTO applicants already in the process? (Applied, PEPC, TOL, FOL, OKC etc. or even finally at your facility) If so could you list a timeline of when you applied and how long it took to get where your at? Please no PUBNATS or CTI's! no offense I read your info as well but you guys have your own sections and we're just trying to get an accurate average

So i'm thinkin its an average of 6-8 months from the time you get referred on ASAP till you get a FOL and a class date..So If I get referred sometime this month or next month..it will be...March or Apr FOL and a June or July class date...GAWD...Well I have no bills..so I'm glad that I will be rakin in the unemployment..maybe I can find a contract tower or a simulator job somewhere...

I believe I was just bad timing. I think 6mnts from your "selected" email will be tops. And since it seems that selections are 4 times a yr... you factor in 6-9mnths from the day you apply to starting school. Add +1yr if you are OTS/CTI... lol
