I stand by my theory that it is a total person concept the hiring folks look for. Internal recs, quals, GPA, extra curricular, etc. They all play into getting you the interview. Interview gets you the job. Good luck lads!

I'm confident that if your stats are good and your Airline Apps is complete, you'll eventually get the call. What happens after that is up to you. Cheers.

Srsly tho, I get the angst. Really. Just be patient and persistant. The hiring has just started. For OTS candidates, its just barely started.

If you get an email from [email protected] asking you to update a few things on your application, is this some mass email because of an application change or are they actively looking at my app? Thanks!
