A second interview?

jeez, it takes an act of God to get the first one. I wonder how long they had to wait to get the 2nd interview.

14-18 months in one case. Solid guy--must have a good sponsor.

Another sim bust from 24 months back or so got his second shot at about 18 months after original shot and made it.

I think MGT knows its a tough interview, and no screening process is perfect. Also--if you aren't a bit nervous (in today's environment anyway...) when interviewing I don't think you are human. Sometimes nerves can trip up even the best of guys and gals.

I don't know it for fact, but I'm sure these 2nd try folks had some good sponsors who burned some serious green stamps to get them another shot.

Grease,
Had to read that one twice! Another Ground Hog Day is turning the brain to mush! It's hot, it's rainy, it's hot, it's rainy, the golf course is a goat ranch but DAM the beer is cheap!!!

Past....

P.S. JDriver, Another fun day at the office?

DiamondZ

Patiently waiting.

Past,
I feel like the new AF motto should be: "No good deed goes unpunished"

New core values:
1. Situational Integrity
2. Service yourself
3. Excellence in all we do in front of others

I guess career enhancement can only be a good thing as long as someone else benefits from your move.

Now back to the thread: Flew with a May poolie today - He updated info with FDX as was told to expect DEC.

Roomy, these guys obviously don't have the stroke with management that you do.....
