If you didn't pass you will get the "Thanks but we are going to be pursuing other applicants" page after you submit it. Other then that I got the email to set up an interview a couple weeks after I took the test.
How was your interview? Good outcome?

Yes. I got offered the position 2 weeks after the interview. The key to the interview is personality. We are definitely looking for people that like to have fun at work and fit into the culture here. So smile a lot and interact with all the people in the interview. Its a great place to work. Good luck!

Right or wrong, I think the presence of a "competence gap" at VA is the perception of many pilots, who can't understand why folks would work for those wages. My family will never fly on VA, either.

So if you meet our requirements then we want to make sure that you will fit in. Its pretty obvious you failed the psych eval!
