They tell you before the conference if it’ll be an interview. They need you to do the HR zoom screen and the personality test. I’d still be prepared for anything and bring all your logbooks, stranger things have happened.

That is not how it worked for me at TPNx last year.
I had a Friday morning Meet-n-Greet, Friday afternoon in-person HR screening, I did the personality test Friday evening, and then I had the interview Saturday morning.
Before showing up to the conference, I had no idea that I would get an interview. My advice, be prepared for anything.

Not to burst your AA bubble but they to see TPIC, any amount would do, anything > 0 tpic. This goes back to even a couple years ago since they had new hires upgrading within 2/3 years on property. The days of poaching from SW are over...for now...if there ever was such a time. The 737 type helps, but not as much as the pic time. Recruiters will tell you the same. Go to ngpa to get exposure and a face to the name, but don't expect more than that. They'll tell you to get tpic time and update your app. At least that's how it is now, could easily change in 6 months.

Does 135 twin-turbine PIC count? I have nearly 800 of it from back a few years ago.

I just interviewed last week and there was 5 Spirit Captains, 1 Frontier captain, and 5 military pilots. It’s definitely getting more competitive again.
