Actually do stress over Hogan... they use it as a deal breaker. "I like classical music..." or "I prefer to read a book over watching TV..." Really?!
"I would enjoy skydiving." So what if you actually did 15 years ago, but haven't done it since? Your only options are true or false...
If they were using Hogan as a supplement to give you a better screening and line of questions at the interview, then I'd say don't worry.
Using a true/false line of questions as end-all-be-all without a follow-up, they've sent some outstanding candidates to Delta, SWA and AA.

Agreed 100%. The above post saying "I'm good at Math" is a yes but "multiplying large numbers " is no? Isn't that being "good at math?"

I'll be retiring from the Army late next year with 3600 TT, 2000 RW and 1600 in King Airs with 1000 of that being PIC, another 600 PIC RW. Bachelor's degree from ERAU.
I'm currently working on my resume and beginning to get myself ready for the transition. I was curious what anyone thinks my chances are for any Major or Legacy? And I am looking for extreme honesty.
Thanks.

Long story short, you've got a good chance at landing an interview, but have a back up plan! Best of luck to you.

I retired from the Marine Corps a year ago, similar background (1300 helo, 1700 BE20, 1600 of which is PIC, and around 600 PIC in the helo). One thing I have learned over the past year is that this is a crap shoot. Pure black magic. After 6 months of staying home with my kids, I got the interview with SWA. I made it to the background check portion, but was not selected to go on, and given no explanation. I can't think of anything in my background that should have come as a surprise, so I'm not sure what I did wrong. I was attributing it to my helo time, but a good friend of mine just got the CJO with very similar creds, so I must have punted the interview. Anyhow, with currency becoming a concern, I took the job at a regional in June, a week after I got the TBNT from SWA. I only have about 200 hours in the ERJ now, and I am in phase 2 with JB, hoping for a Feb class.
Long story short, you've got a good chance at landing an interview, but have a back up plan! Best of luck to you.

This is one of the best replies I've gotten, thank you. My biggest concern is not having thousands and thousands of hours and not having any heavy or jet time. This gave me a little bit more hope. I'll keep my fingers crossed!!

Armypilot - from a FW perspective your resume isn't competitive. Some carriers will give you credit for your RW time. With that you're competive as a retired military W-x or O-x.
Your military experience will give you points in the non flying portion of your resume. Will that be enough if the airline doesn't accept RW time? I'd guess not.
Get out and get a regional job. Instant jet time, larger a/c than you've flown before, 121 box checked off, ability to check mil/civ box. And you'd be cranking out 700-900 hrs of FW a year.
What's unknown is did slimothy's regional job on his resume trigger the call from JB for an interview? No one knows. But some, actually all, of the military guys I've been advising who havn't been called by a major have had contact shortly checking off '121/civilian' on their resumes.
