Anybody have experience or knowledge in this matter?

Nowadays, they send such candidates to a board and the board determines whether to ignore the psychologist and hire the person or to go with the psyche's recommendation. Guy in my squadron said two guys in his interview class went to "the board". One guy got hired, the other didn't. Good luck to your buddy.
I heard pretty much the same from a friend who experienced this. They convene the board and review however many of these they have cause for at that point. From my recollection my friend said 50% made it after the board met. I believe they gave him a couple of updates at the date approached, but my memory could be off on that. Interestingly, I heard from another Delta pilot that a friend of his recently interviewed and a female pilot in his group was just told to retake the MMPI again that same day; after the second time she was GTG.
