I know a few guys from XJT that failed the first time but passed the second time. To me that means the test is flawed or unnecessary. Of course in full disclosure I failed it as well. It happens, in fact of all the guys in my regional new hire class that took it, about 50% of us busted it. They are great guys too that I would have absolutely no issues flying with. But hey it's Uniteds house Uniteds rules despite the hogan seeming rather ridiculous. I was waiting for my second chance when my current employer called. Everything happens for a reason and I'm very happy where I ended up. I let my airline apps expire so I will never know if I would have received the second chance but that's ok. The important thing is in my observation, yes there are a lot who get that second shot. Good luck!!
