Not sure of the totals, but of the seven I exchanged info with only one got an invite. And that person's significant other was also a pilot there.

If it helps. 4 of the 8 in my interview group had gone.

anyone have the photo of the guy at the job fair last year (or maybe earlier) who showed up without pants?

Did he get hired?

I heard the hiring team wasn’t impressed. And they were Bermuda shorts, I think. I was there, even overheard recruiting folks were chuckling....

Same here. No further emails with the TBNT. I wonder how many of us that went to the expo didn’t even get the invite for the interview. A feedback system would be really helpful so we could know what to change to be more marketable, but I imagine the hiring department is swamped.

Same here. I wish I knew what the difference was between a "Closed Complete" with/without a withdraw button.

My most recent application (out of 4 total) still says "Received Submission" but everything else is closed.

As of this morning of my six attempts, five say closed/complete and one from last August (2018-24651) still says Submission Received. It's book-ended between closed/completes, three previous and two after. It's all kinda disheartening.
