Is that how this works? Just curious. I'm one of the unfortunate souls that had just passed the interview and was awaiting a training date when the brown stuff hit the fan. Hoping that if this is the case, that people will post how many people are recalled each month so that those of us potential new-hires that are waiting on the sidelines know where we stand...
