I wouldn't say it's entirely a matter of studying...as it is getting your stuff straight. IE paperwork. Fill it out properly. I think that's what a lot of people are being sent home for. Yeah maybe bad HR technique, mistakes during tech or busting the hold in sim, but I've heard people being sent home no questions for a paperwork issue. I've heard people getting offered a job and they entered the hold wrong. ymmv

But from what my bud says happened today, the 5 were sent home after their paperwork checked out. Some were sent home after the sim, some after the tech portion, and some after the HR interview.
It could have been a one-time-event, but at least today HR was very selective...

They want to hire as many as possible, we are super short staffed. Its basically a checkride and the entire thing is posted online, I am not sure why so many people are goofing it up.

There is more than a "checkride" and gouges. You can ace that sim, ace the tech portion, but if your attitude sucks you are out. Remember, those conducting the interviews are LINE PILOTS. None of them want to fly with cocky attitudes, know it all kids, specially on a 4 day trip.

Yes you pay a small amount but best regional benefits I know of. You are treated as an AMR employee, and they do it based on order of check in not date of hire. So if you check in 1 second before an AA 35 years 777 captain, you get on the plane first. This is for non rev travel, not jumpseating. Even if we are spun off, we keep these benefits for 5 more years. This is for employee/wife/kids/parents, which is known at AA/AE as D2.
Almost every other mainline airline, non rev seat assignment is based on date of hire. and THEN the regionals that fly for them get on after all their employees. BUT if it is a flight operated by their airlines for the mainline airline sometimes we they get on first.
Now, back to AA/AE, yes for the first 5 years, you have to pay like $15 per 1000 miles one way for coach, and twice for First domestically, International is a bit more due to taxes. First everyone pays even after 5 years.
