Hi TRD, I received the "top tier" email Jan 21 and got the actual AON assessment link Jan 25. Any updates for you??
I completed the AON assessment Jan 29 and on Jan 30 received the invite to schedule an in-person interview. I used https://airlineassessmentprep.com to prepare this time—did the AON last year with no prep and blew it. Happy to be heading to ATL in March!
Hopefully you've received a link or two by now! Keep us posted.

I'm in an awkward spot...
I received the new "pending assessment invite" email a few weeks ago. However, the availability date I put is pending a 6-month Palace Chase from active duty. I honestly wasn't expecting an assessment invite so soon, so my Palace Chase paperwork hasn't been approved for that date yet. That being said... I've never seen a PC application be denied for my airframe in recent history....
Is this easy enough to explain during the interview (if it's still pending), or should I message them beforehand to try and clarify it/change it? I don't know if 6 months of availability change is a big deal to them.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

For guys that have to push the class back, is there a way to see what your potential seniority would be if you were to take one class over another? I think widgetseniority has something but anyone else know of any other ways to check future seniority?

Honestly your final number isn't that important in the grand scheme of a career when you're talking about skipping a class or few. What it will affect more immediately is how quickly you get more people behind you, as that will more directly impact your seniority progression off the bottom of the list. That will give you better schedules faster + some furlough protection if that ever becomes an issue.

There's no exact way to predict since you'd need to know the sizes of each class between the one you were offered and the one you actually took, and the ages of every pilot in that class. Hypothetically what if you defer a class, and that class you skipped had every person older than you? Your ending seniority number wouldn't change. It would be 50 worse if a class of 50 were all younger than you.
