I think the reason that cfii2007 didn't get hired was because of his/her attitude. Your attitude speaks volumes in an interview. HR/Tech/Sim, whatever. If they see that you honestly want to be there, if they see that you have truely prepared for the interview, that you are trainable, and that you aren't interviewing there for it to be a "fall-back" airline, you will get the job.
Yes, these folks that have gotten interviews, or jobs for that matter, have less time then you. So what? They WANT to be there. That is the difference between you and them.
Now for those who haven't been called yet, no worries. They will call eventually. If you know someone in the company that can pop their head into HR, that should speed up the process quite a bit. Good luck to you all. Keep the faith.
