I like to think I answered honestly although maybe spent too much time pondering some questions, who knows.

Needless to say you work your whole career towards this goal just to get pushed off the boat by a computer which is the be-all end-all. Without even a chance of talking to someone it felt like a huge kick in the nuts. Then stories of people taking it a 2nd and 3rd time and passing and getting a job makes it seem even more pointless. It's a screening tool apparently still too many applicants.

Then you watch programs like Aviate get rolled out because they are worried they won't have enough applicants? Who knows. Guess I'll start looking for the number for that truck driving school.
100%

And this is why I work for another major.
It’s not my number one, but I’m making it work. It’s extremely frustrating, though. Worked extremely hard to get all the quals, went to a “first tier university”, completed a masters, and end up at a major hiring guys with no degree and 0 TPIC. Complete waste of a lot of my time and money if this was the end goal.
