Oh ok I see. I assume then you didn't get the $40/day stipend for sim transportation?

Shy, they went to giving each sim pair a car because it worked to be cheaper then giving everyone $40/day. MIA covers all expense because Airbus's training credit actually pays for it.

My app has been in for over a year now. And nothing. I'll be going to the OBAP job fair in March. Do they do interviews or draw from the folks that go?

They don't technically do on-site interviews. It's more of a get to know you type of deal. It's always good to put a face to a name.

I see thanks. But if I was not in consideration, then it won't carry any weight. How do I know if I've even been under any kind of consideration?

You don't until you get the questionnaire email. Usually, if the pull your app they'll grade your test. If the test passes you'll only know if they want to proceed further with the questionnaire. If you fail you'll get the TBNT email. Still, a face to match to an app should increase your chances of getting your app pulled.
