Quoted from the Aviate prep packet -
“ You may also consider seeking out coaches who offer shortcuts to success on these inventories. Our experience suggests that candidates do not benefit from this coaching”
“The interviewers want to get to know you. Candidates who come over-prepared with scripted answers are generally less successful in the panel interview. It’s also important to remember that interviewers are trained to detect stories that are provided by third-party coaches or supposed experts, so resist the temptation to rely on these sources for guidance. Your best chance of success is to be authentic and truthful!”
Read that as, just be yourself. If you need a coach, you’re not yourself.
I’ve already done the prep with emerald coast. Had I not, I probably would have steered clear prior.

They did not give me answers or stories. They emphasized that I needed to be authentic and truthful.
What they did was helped me think of stories for different HR questions that were mine and genuine and help me refine those answers. How to put my response in the correct format. Trip falls to avoid. How to condense my “tell me about yourself” story. Practice on how to interact on an interview.
Would I have made it without their help? Maybe. But I’m glad I spent the money on their help.

Sorry to hear you didn’t make it. Was your interview under the AVIATE? Some people interviewed 3 weeks ago and haven’t heard anything yet.

Or, congrats you made it. Smooth sailing form here on out. Move up to UA when you reach the required hours?

I’d like to know the percentage of rejections with this program vs off the street interviews. Don’t feel bad about not making the cut. There are plenty of people at the legacies who were turned down by another. If United says no, Delta might say yes.

What happens is you are put on a list waiting for UA to decide if they want to put you in a class. If anyone knows what that criteria is, it's not public knowledge. Don't forget that your work and training record will have to pass a "final review" right before they offer you a class date. That way, they can string you along and ensure you don't cause any trouble with pesky things like a sick call...
