Nice...
And yupe, every now and then, some of us get through!
( I usually state that while making a sperm swimming past the diaphragm motion with my hand! LOL )

Welcome onboard, and/or good luck with the process~

Update from the 2016 Veterans Day recruiting event in SFO.

Went to the event, didn't hear anything until October of 2017 when I got the Hogan. Took it, bombed it, wouldn't re-qualify to take it for 12 months.

12 months later I was getting ready for a deployment to the sandbox (last one of my career, thank God) so I didn't bother updating any of my AirlineApps stuff. When I got back from my deployment this past February, I updated all my AirlineApps stuff and got a Hogan invite within two weeks afterwards. Took it after a 0230 sim event when I was tired (I honestly thought I was not going to pass it again so was much more relaxed than the first time) but just went through the questions and answered the first thing that came to mind. At the end of each section, I ran backwards through it just to make sure my answers were consistent.

Two days later got an interview invite, but unfortunately I had a work event I could not get out of so I had to delay the interview by a week. Interviewed on April 10th, CJO on April 17th.

I can honestly say it has been worth the wait, and am stoked to start class whenever I get plucked out of the pool.

Great story. Good to hear second chances are available.
