To the contrary, I took a list of common TMAAT questions from Interview Prep, and found different parts of my resume that had the best stories. Studied that way in a general form, ie my C-130 schoolhouse tour had plenty of examples for EPs, teaching, customer service in the form of teaching students etc. not designed to answer every TMAAT, but by studying my resume before the interview, I knew which jobs had the best stories for different TMAATs. Helped me relax during my interview in 2013. Also helped me come up with the best stories which they seemed to love.

Sorry guys and gals, I don't have any info on the Hogan except what I've already posted, but to add another data point to the list:

CJO yesterday (3/4)

Timeline:
App submitted 2-3 years ago
Selection Email: 2/5, hogan email 2 hours later and I took it immediately
Call for Interview: 2/9
Interviewed: 2/24
CJO: 3/4
Estimated class date: 5/5 (very high last four SS)

7150 TT
650 TPIC (all turbo-prop)
5900+ part 121

Miscellaneous:
- 8 year regional guy, upgraded a year ago
- Embry-Riddle Aeronautics degree, 3.9 GPA (on campus)
- Continental Intern
- Enlisted (grunt) in the Air National Guard during the recession, BMT honor grad and although I'm a DSG, I have taken on additional duties at my unit
- 4 LORs, zero internal at the time I got the hogan email
- 1 job fair, no M&Gs
- A handful of various leadership positions, from college and the military
- Not without "dirty laundry" but all was disclosed on my app prior to hogan selection
- 30 years old

Thanks to all the others who've contributed and shared their info and I hope this is of some value to everybody. I'm honored to count myself in the poolie ranks :-)

And to reiterate:
- Lori Clark
- CheckedandSet.net
- FTI sim prep
You absolutely can't go wrong with any of these services

Default From a council report

"The Company plans to hire 760 new pilots for the 2015 year. Overall training of pilots is behind schedule and will be until into 2016. Emphasis is on training pilots on the 737 fleet with backfills on the wide body fleet. We can expect one additional vacancy bid to come out before the summer schedule flying starts. Surpluses are expected to be minimal until at least after the summer flying ends."

Not necessarily. I am starting class the 17th with a few guys that interviewed the week after I did. Granted I interviewed on a Friday and these guys interviewed Tuesday and Weds the following week. Hope that helps.

As it has been discussed at length, every weeks successful candidates are put into a pool. They are removed from the pool by their SS# Lowest first. Example: Pilot A interviews on March 2nd and has a high SS#. Pilot B interviews on March 6th with a low SS#. Pilot C interviews on March 9th with a middle SS#. Pilot D interviews March 13th with a low SS#. When it comes time to fill classes, assuming all pilots from Feb 23rd week are placed, Pilot B gets called first, Pilot A gets called next and if after placing all pilots from that week, Pilot D gets a call and then Pilot C if there are still slots to fill.
