Yeah, I got a chuckle out of that one. 1 is a new hire that was in a previous class that had leave and then return, so I guess they paired someone with him for training.

Can anyone recommend an interview prep company for VX? I know there is Emerald Coast for FX and US, but anyone have intel on one that has assisted with the VX process? Cheers!

Check you PMs, many interview prep courses will be overkill for a VA interview.

Agreed. IMO the best advice is to be nice, be yourself, have your own genuine (TRUE) stories ready and presented in a SAR format. Think of some of the nicest/kindest pilots you've ever flown with, those are the kinds of guys that usually make it through.

Correct. 1 started class and had to leave for a family emergency. Another in the same class was asked to leave after some additional background info came back. So the class of 2 is the pilot returning from the family emergency and a replacement for the pilot dismissed for the background check.
