They are shooting for 50 % for the hiring. That has been their goal since they started interviewing in late Jan. They have just been luckier than initially planned. It looks like it is finally starting to smooth out.

Yes. The other guy who was hired was ASA (I think..don't quote me on that).
I honestly don't know what the secret code is. The cog test was a ball buster and I thought for sure I tanked it. The gouge covered approx 40%-50% of the technical test, but the rest of the questions were very new to me. The whole group seemed like a great group of guys. Out of respect for those that did not get hired, I will refrain from posting whether or not it was the interview, testing, or both as to being the reason for not getting hired.

Whats up C-17, you didn't tell them about my interview class the next day. 7 showed, 4 in 3 out. The four were 2 AF heavy and 2 civ (1 ASA and 1 corp). The 3 out were 2 AF heavy and 1 civ (Aliegent Air). The civ wore a suit that would make a donkey fall over laughing. It came right off the rack in Borat's closet. Made of wool, two sizes too small, and an ugly orange tie. What was he thinking? He busted the interview of course. The two mil guys: one for getting confrontational during the interview and the other for taking his lollygaging time during the cog test. The cog test was easy!... Only if you go to AIR, Inc. and get the gouge!! That's the only reason I passed it. The gouge is all out there. Do you want the job or not? Do what it takes. See you in class Shaggy and I'm not doing you testing like in Del Hell.

New to this thread...so you're saying they want to hire 50% of the people that interview?

Not to put words into acl's mouth...but what the hey...
Having gone through the process personally I can tell you that the 50% number is probably what they expect to yield from each class. The interview system is relatively objective (results may vary with how the interview is perceived by the interviewee).
If you take the average day of interview groups I think they probably yield slightly below 50% in the last few weeks. But just barely below the 50/50 mark. 3 of 7, 4 of 8, 4 of 7 hired seems to be fairly typical.
They day I interviewed was 1/7 and the following week had 2/8. But I know for a fact (from the hiring department themselves) my day was an extreme outlier statistically.

Thanks ER. Keep it on the down low as I haven't told the leadership until I get a class date. I still appreciate the help at your company though. I heard you are looking at Columbus? GO! Things are changing at the unit rapidly, and not for the good. I'm looking around as well. See ya this weekend!
