Let the chickens hatch before you start counting them.

It usually takes 2-3 weeks to get the F2F invite. Email.
If he was asked to add additional info after the video, then he passed.

No. Additional info request starts the background check. It's a HUGE plus but it's not guaranteed.

You're not on the list until day one. Until then it's like being in a bar and a girl telling you she'll see you next weekend.

You're not off probation until you reach the defined limit. Unlike the guy who went nuts on his last trip before the end of probation...

Minor, but hugely important, differences.

What list?

If you get a request for additional info, you've passed the video interview.

If you then pass the background check (which is not the full-up DOT one), you will then be scheduled for the Face to Face.

Agreed. More info means video passed. But it just triggers the background check which is a high probalbity, but not 100%, pass.

List being the seniority list after being hired. Having a number, versus class cancellling the morning you're supposed to report, is worlds apart.

Hotel was ok with him getting kicked out of the casino. Hotel was ok with him getting kicked out again after he snuck back in. Hotel was ok with the hooker. That's all fine. But then he decided to trash his room. That's where it started to unravel. The big problem was he'd filled all the squares EXCEPT for reaching the actual date that ended his probationary period. Oops. Oops is code for 'fired.'

What starts or is checked on the background once additional information is sent?

Also, does anyone have a class schedule for Jan-March?

Thank you!
