So what is the Total Line Pilots Hired for the year? After the Last Sept. Class.

Weak. They have hired many, many times through Peaks and the New year. But with Zero Aircraft Orders and Zero Gateways opened over the last 5 years, this is what ya get. A Sh*t Sandwich.

What happen to Prague and Gatwick? Oh, it was a Peak Rumor and Star will be flying those cities. Carry on now and put your head back in the sand please.

Take it for what it's worth but 2016 AQP will not be using VPT's. We asked why and were told they are expecting 80-100 new hires next year. New hires and transitions get priority on the VPT's.

Should end up being 83.

50 between Feb-May, 18 on 10 Aug, reportedly 8 on 31 Aug and 7 on 14 Sept.

There are already 10 more pilots on property now than there were this time last year, with (allegedly) 15 more hires to start class.

I hope I am wrong, but if you search the APC forum on this I think you will find it correct.
I just created a completely new app with a different email address, and the process repeated itself with the error messages.

The only thing I can fathom is that I listed PIC and instructor time separately, but that was simply following the instructions for flight time.

It tells me my status is 'on file'.

Anyone else run into similar circumstances?

"Do a search in your internet browser's history for "failed" and it will bring up a page from the UPS site that says "https://ups.managehr.com/candidate/info.aspx?id=MSG_PILOT_FAILED_SCORE""

I had read somewhere that there was a minimum score of 7.5 out of 8.0 or something like that to be active.

I was able to check all the boxes, I have >1000 PIC Turbine, several thousand hours widebody international and a Masters degree with an internal rec. Not that those quals have helped me get an interview at brown.
