No one really knows. You have enough PII in there that it will probably be noticed that you have a duplicate in the system. It may not be that you are being ignored, however. You might just no longer be competitive enough as things have returned to more historical norms.

How soon can you start class is a question towards the end of the in-person interview so just be open and honest about it

This right here…, Now is not the time to postpone this…. Unless another person alluded to that you are at a AA, DL, WN, AS/HA.

The pool is backed up anyways, and I am certain you will be able to delay some ad well with a CJO in hand….

Gotcha. Makes sense. Not sure it is worth doing a duplicate. Also not sure what’s competitive now. I have over 10k (over half in 121) and types in the 320 and 737…but I also haven’t flown now in a year. So it could be that. I’ll just keep at it. Thx

Old info, but they used to want a certain amount in the last year. Not sure what that is today. Degrees are also essentially required.

Your lack of recency/currency is definitely holding your app back.

Have a degree. I figured the lack of recency would be an issue. Gotta figure that out. Thx

Hi all. I also just received the invite to the assessment. Anything crazy to watch out for, or is it just the standard personality assessment deal to see if you’re a psycho?

yeah, it’s that one. Nothing to study for. It’s what you’ve already likely heard about.

one thing to mention is it’s no longer pass or fail, it’s just part of your “score”, so go into it relaxed
