I had 2500 + hours, 1300 ME turbine, and an ATP when I applied here, and it took months before they got back to me (after first sending me a thanks but no thanks email!). Once at the interview, I was surprised at just how easy it was. This was basic IFR rating material. I found it to be almost wholly a 'get to know you' session, and I spent more time shooting the bull with the folks than actually answering questions. In all honesty, I expected to get a 'no', and was quite surprised to get a job offer from them. I still have no idea why. Talking to other people that day, it seems each of us had a different experience. I say this to illustrate just how much of a crapshoot it is to get hired. Don't be down on yourself if you got the 'no'. It all seems so random, and at least you tried.
