I interviewed unsuccessfully in mid 2016 and also had none of the above. I am wondering if the changes to the process would hurt my chances at getting a second chance a year later.

Funny looking back at the first 20 pages of this thread and seeing how drastically the outlook has changed at FX since 2014.

Single-engine, private pilot's license is pretty much all you need at most major airlines nowadays. That and your own set of diapers of course... :rolleyes:

The more senior you are the more you have the option to DH. Many DHs to ANC, some all the way to Asia or Europe to start the trip. Most trips with DHs are RFO trips.
