These people were either looked at after the computer picked them out, then for some reason they were not chosen to continue, OR they did not pass the assessment and were chosen to not continue. I think with the latter possibility there would be far more emails generated and brings me to wonder why they were not sent out almost immediately after failing the test. Or of course, a total mistake and someone accidentally hit the wrong button after a few cocktails while working from home?
So I am going with the first scenario, I think the system selected these names as competitive applicants, and for some reason did not go on to the next step, hence getting the TBNT email.

Which again makes me go with the "snapshot" theory a la USAir style, NOT TO IMPLY THEY USE USAir's vendor.
Simply that those that got the email may have met their criteria at this moment as far as qualifications go, just not competitive enough at this round, etc.

I haven't received anything from AA, not a darn thing. Strange….you'd think that if they weren't interested in me, and haven't offered me the video interview, that I would have received the same email.
Maybe AA is waiting until Christmas to send me the email….it would complete my holiday spent with family, my idiot brother, a bottle of bourbon, and watching Bad Santa.

Agreed, the more I see these phenomenal qualifications of people getting the TBNT email (I have to ad its only for 6 months and nothing permanent; I bet those who got it will be able to retake it then), the more I am sure it was the assessment scores that they used to thin the heard a bit. And frankly I am not sure I agree with those tests much (or amazed I passed it), but it's just the way it is for now.
I actually think that the people that got this email were selected by the computer as completive but since the test was not "passed", the TBNT email was the result. They are trimming from the top of the list down, as they get you a person, then the email is sent. I think the test is not looked at until you are selected. Then its go or no-go.
Good luck to everyone. 2014 is going to be a big year for hiring!

Another guess without foundation is that hiring has slowed dramatically as the new management's re-considering hiring going forward. Most mergers, in and out of airlines, are predicated on synergies that reduce head count.
With all regard to 117, new management has to cut cost to make their grand plan work. I read today that the school house @GSW is backed up, which may also play into hiring.
Just items for consideration.

What I see directly is a training Dept. at the max - advertising job openings for more dudes. A recruiter I had dinner with last week ( now this is on the Flight Attendant side ) tells me the 2014 targets were revised up another 300 to 2700 total.
Just takes time to get up to speed.
