I think he was just pointing out some may have that opinion. I don't think anyone has any doubts that the bottom of the seniority list (post merger-new hires) is going to be a complete non-issue during the SLI. It will be DOH.

I've heard as "low" as 17 and as high as all 20 for certain interview groups. It reinforces the theory of "if you get to DFW, they want to hire you!"
Be truthful, disclose EVERYTHING. It seems that to not get hired after the F2F, you either need to get caught lying or seriously screw up your interview.

I'm not sure, but everyone I know has made it. I have heard of some not making it though.
Regarding the PST (computer cog test), one of the HR ladies hinted that you could fail the PST and still get hired. It seems that they are looking at the big picture.

You may be assuming too much about the bottom of the seniority list. The APA doesn't play nice...just ask the former TWA pilots.

A snapshot is taken if the application is that anyone hired at either airline will then be merged on the list as DOH starting from after the merger announcement date. But this would assume that someone hired at US is the equivalent thing to someone getting hired at AA which many would argue it is not. That's not my business just my 2 cents from having gone through a 3-way merger.

It is reasonable to believe that those hired after MAD may go DOH, but I suppose anything can happen.

Yes... I thought there was one small difference between the medical portion and the actual first class, can't remember what though. It might be the pee test. If you pass a class 1, I wouldn't worry about the medical. I think they just want to verify that you haven't been going to one of "those" AMEs if ya know what I mean.

The Eagle flows are asked to do the PST, however it is "optional" and a "non jeopardy" event. For street hires it is not optional.
They are attempting to see if there is a correlation between the results of the PST and and any problems that people may have during training, they want to gather as much data as possible as quickly as possible, hence asking the flows to take the test voluntarily, to increase their sample size.
At least that is what the Eagle flows are told.
If the data correlates, then I am sure the PST will begin to be weighted more heavily in the future. If it does not correlate then who knows, they may drop the test altogether.
