They then go into their secret room (after interviewing office staff, etc) and determine who will do captain upgrade. If you don't make it then you wait another year and do the whole process again. If you don't make it the second time you are permanent copilot. The last couple of years they have approved about 50% of those being evaluated. And they won't tell you reasons for not making it.
