To which airline were you referring? That's a good amount of hiring.

where the heck did you come up with those numbers man? Do you even work here?

I received an online assessment after creating a profile, but was on a trip and couldn't complete it at the time. When I went back to do it, my profile is "Applied" and I can't get to the exam. Looks like it went in without a completed assessment.

Anybody have a similar experience? Ideas? Probably kick myself in the head till next round.

You may get that response if you apply when the window is closed. I can't think of any other reason.
