No, nothing. VA is suppose to have the first interview on 11/09 from what I heard. Also, it was said they would send you an email instead of the phone call.

Default first interviews

I have a good friend who is scheduled to interview on Friday 11/06. If I remember correctly he received an immediate email after a successful Previsor.

Flying to just 8 destinations and losing hundreds of millions of dollars doing it, something has to change... One way or the other.
