Agreed, a lot of really sharp guys out there. That was the case for me as well, but not everyone out of UPT had the same luck.
Example, My table mate failed the formation check because he was on the wing and lead busted the area by an half mile, that's gage error front seat-back seat. They got him too, yes it was bogus, but still an individual ride bust--which should have no bearing on interviews.
