I explained it using the truth. I was a lazy college kid who took longer than the average bear to catch a clue. I pointed to other examples of high performance - flying, PME/queepcations, and other training/education - as further evidence I'd reformed my ways.

Based off that, I had a couple other pilots review my app... they all caught little things I'd missed. Another thing, make sure you continue to update your app fairly often (within ~60 days), otherwise you might get your app moved to a holding pattern w/ an indefinite EFC (ie until you update again).

Regardless, there's a computer program that weeds through all the applications looking for triggers, maybe not on based on "points", but I'm sure there's not 20 monkeys in a room looking through 12,000 apps just to see which one has an internal. I know all apps do have human eyes on it before an invite is sent, but it's unrealistic to think all 12,000 apps are read by AK (or the hiring team) every time those apps are updated. If i recall there were 3 things that would get your app looked at with human eyes. As stated, the internal is one. There were others but I don't remember what they were (nor do I think AK would appreciate it being written here).
Call it what you want- points, rack and stack, etc, but there's a computer program involved and if your app doesn't trigger the proper electrons, your app won't get eyes on.

I have read a lot of posts regarding the scoring but I was wondering if anyone had any insight as to whether availability will affect when an application is scored.
Thanks in advance!

If you are recommended internally, (or attend conferences like mentioned above - something I left out, and there are likely other non-algorithm triggers), your app will be scored by human beings. This is different from United and others. If you still believe I'm incorrect, let me know and I'll inform OC Miller he's full of it.
