It was volume check. If you were able to fill the box, that meant....

Ahh, these jokes write themselves, you guys finish...

Maybe it was for the sniff check ... Never mind, that would've been Delta's test, cuz we all know their poop don't stink, right?

Gentlemen, thank you for all of your comments, humor, anecdotes, and advice. I have spent the better part of a long overnight reading up.
I have a couple of questions:
Does the lack of a recent training event (8 years since I upgraded) hurt my application score? Along with that, does lots of TT and PIC hurt the score? This is a serious question, as I have heard that Delta is looking for guys who aren't "stagnant".
A few months ago, I had a friend submit the HR email. Unfortunately I hadn't gone over my application with a fine toothed comb prior to that, so I'm afraid that HR might had passed over it due to a few incomplete places. Now that I've gone over my app and cleaned it up a lot, have I blown my chance? Should I have another friend submit an email?
Any other tips on the scoring process (how often they review updates, etc...)?
Thank you again for the extremely informative thread, I hope to get my chance of a lifetime soon!

Great experience this week. Our interview group Wed went 9/12. Tuesday went 12/12. Not sure how yesterday's group went as we were done before finding out the results for that group.

What quals are getting ANG/reserve heavy drivers the e-mail invite? I'm looking for PIC, IP, EP, total time info, and education. I've seen a lot of my squadron mates getting hired which is awesome. All but 1 had EP time. Most have master's degrees, and had been to either safety school, AIS, shop chiefs or CC's. I'm curious as to what quals other guard/reserve heavy drivers are getting the invite at.
