Did emerald coast seminar last Aug and the phone refresher is in a couple days. Any suggestions on which questions I should focus on? Feel like they can hit me from both sides, mil and also some airline experience.

Does anyone know if you can get flagged on Day 2 for taking the MMPI too quickly?

Negative.

I took the test so quickly that when the next guy finished (literally almost an hour later), he asked me if I had quit. He thought I left to go use the latrine and was wondering what went wrong when I didn't return.

Its been my experience that a hat is like a boomerang, it always comes back some how. As opposed to losing things like sunglasses, etc.

Anyone hearing what the recent acceptance rates for the last few weeks have been? Was hearing that it has been running 6-7 of 8, hope that trend is continuing!

For a long while we had to interview candidates from some of the preferred hiring schemes. While many were fine pilots, they might not have been typical of the sort who had enjoyed successful interviews at Delta in the past. You might see a higher pass rate if we are returning to the more competitive pool of outside candidates.

It is all about the individual. The process is very objective.

Mesaba flow is done, Compass Flow is at its limit for the year, and the SSP pass rate is around 40%. I would say that outside hiring applicants will see better odds of getting you though the door over the next few months.

Define quickly? 500 plus questions done in 15 minutes, maybe. Who knows, but if you got "flagged" the only response you will get is, "cleared to train" or "you didn't make it." Out of your hands at this point.
