So where is the JD River and do you need 130JD RVR to land there?

 

A second interview?

jeez, it takes an act of God to get the first one. I wonder how long they had to wait to get the 2nd interview.

 

14-18 months in one case. Solid guy--must have a good sponsor.

Another sim bust from 24 months back or so got his second shot at about 18 months after original shot and made it.

I think MGT knows its a tough interview, and no screening process is perfect. Also--if you aren't a bit nervous (in today's environment anyway...) when interviewing I don't think you are human. Sometimes nerves can trip up even the best of guys and gals.

I don't know it for fact, but I'm sure these 2nd try folks had some good sponsors who burned some serious green stamps to get them another shot.

 

You don't want to know what it takes!

 

Anyone have any idea how many people entered the pool per month?

 

Below is what was posted on flightinfo. If someone's info is missing from this list please update this list with the information.

P.S. JDriver, Another fun day at the office?

 

2 guys went WB and 3 still remain in the pool....

Have not heard anything since July, to update med and drug test.

Patiently waiting.

 

Thanks alot for the info JDriver.

 

Past,
I feel like the new AF motto should be: "No good deed goes unpunished"

New core values:
1. Situational Integrity
2. Service yourself
3. Excellence in all we do in front of others

I guess career enhancement can only be a good thing as long as someone else benefits from your move.

Now back to the thread: Flew with a May poolie today - He updated info with FDX as was told to expect DEC.
