Thanks everyone for the encouragement and input. I got a follow up email this morning called a verbal conditional job offer, with a link to a Delta website. While it doesn't mention the PARB at all I hope that means I am past that part. Either way, clicking forward and hoping to spend the cold season in Atlanta.

Do these company psychiatrists have a good track record? Such that we should trust their judgement? Psychology does not exactly have a great record when it’s been put to the test. I worked with numerous ex-military guys who were new FOs at the regional who had lost the CJO in this way. Every one of them was a GREAT FO, cared about pax, FAs, was likeable etc. I thought to myself “What the hell are the Psych’s seeing?”
guy I met had a friend from his Marine days. Shrink asked if he’d been in combat. Yes. Asked if he ever killed someone. Uh, yeah (flew attack aircraft). Asked if he ever thought about it. Uh….I guess?
boom. Denied.
He went on to be an FBI agent.

Probably wanted to hear "yes, and I've gotten therapy to help process my emotions on it. I see a therapist regularly to make sure nothing comes up in the future." Total crap.

Well, I got a very nice phone call today letting me know I did not pass the review, followed by a "Don't call us, we'll never call you" email.
Good luck to anyone else in the process, it seems like it would be a great career and a great time to get hired.

Maybe you wear your politics on your sleeves a lot more than you realize, and the Delta shrink could recognize a nutcase a lot easier than you can see your own self? Lay on the couch and think about it for a bit, perhaps?

As Fangs said, the vast majority of people make it through. Try to breathe while you wait. If you get the mad dog’s twisted sister out of indoc, I’ll take you out on a “layover date” when we fly together.
