To some of your points, not a single person took off their jacket until 2:45pm when an HR rep literally told us to as it was hot in the break room. The only phones out I saw were in the men's room. I personally left mine in my suitcase.
For me, I truly don't know where I made a mistake. I know I honestly wanted to be there and conveyed that as much as possible. I'm not looking to bail for Delta/SWA/FedEx etc.
I prepped, I studied AviationInterviews, I was social to everyone. And so was everyone else it seemed.
After them hiring 10/10 in ORD, I thought this looked it was going to be same, as everyone was cool and seemed great to be on a 4 day with.
But I was very wrong.
They gave us the "Feel free to re-apply in six months", but it wasn't said in a warm and fuzzy, more just a matter of fact, it was said to all of us at once and then we were shown the door. At lease three of us were dumbstruck.
You can take this as bitter if you wish. Of course it is. I'll reflect over the experience. I'm not bashing the company here, so no need to get defensive. I'm just floored they took four. Literally right BEFORE they announced who was being sent home, Barry Biffle even came down and shook hands with all of us and thanked us. That was two minutes before we were shown the door. We all thought that was the sign we were hired. It was weird.
Congrats on the new contract.
Most jobs only hire a small percentage of interviews. Why should F9 be any different? They will pick the best fits and call it a day.
