Does anyone have any visibility on how the sudoku part is graded? I'm trying the Cut-E tests, and on hard, it's 6 minutes to do 15. If you don't get to them, it's counted wrong. Some are super simple, but some are very complicated (at least to me). Anyone know if it's better to guess and take a 50/50 shot of getting it wrong in order to get through all 15, or is it better to get each one right even if you only get 3 or 4 done?

i only got through 3 of them and I'm 95% confident I didn't get any of the 3 correct. I'm interviewing 1 Dec.

How soon before class do you get your room and ticket info… Thanks.

Seniority to hold 7ER in LAX

Hello! If I get assigned NYC 757, when could I expect to hold LAX?

How are people doing on the word scramble and the crossword part? Do you have to bring your own USA Today or is one provided?

You know what I do when I want to relax? The jumble

Depends how soon you could hold the 767.

I received the soul crushing TBNT after the panel interview with a 6 mo reapply. Is the 6 mo reapply the the canned TBNT or do they also do a 12 mo reapply and/or a flat out TBNT?

Dang that sucks, just gotta hang in there and be ready for round 2. They have hired many people on the second go-around so the first TBNT isn’t the end of it all. Yes, there is (at least there was pre-pandemic) a 12 month reapply. Not sure if there is an official policy, but I’m sure there have been cases where someone after the first go was told never again to reapply. It’s always been a bit of a mystery as to how one person gets a 6 vs 12 month reapply. Probably has to do either with how high you scored overall or which particular areas you struggled in.

Either way you’ve got a great shot at round 2. I think a very high percentage of people on round 2 get hired. It does help to have been through the entire process before so you can relax and hopefully be more confident in yourself. Hopefully you’ve got a bit of a handle on which areas you were weak in on your first interview so you can focus on that in your future prep.

Also, there is no penalty applied on your second interview. You start with a clean slate just like everyone else at the start of the day. I don’t even know if your HR panel is aware that it is your second time. Either way no one holds that against you.

Thank you for the info.
