Ha. I was hoping that this was just a mass interview, and we would all be done with it! Just get a CJO after the event.
Hogan’s should be coming in by Wednesday next week, for successful applicants that is.

Very true. My GPA during my ME studies was 2.5. The amount of effort put forth just to pass Partial Diff. was countless of hours. But I passed! To me, just passing Eng. courses was an accomplishment well deserved;-)
I had a great time and met a lot very qualified pilots at the event. I can see why everyone was invited -high caliber people.

I threw freight at a grocery store overnight and went to school during the day because I wasn't willing to bury myself in student loan debt. My GPA suffered because of it. It's sad that work ethic and fiscal responsibility have no bearing on whether or not you can get an interview.

I asked one of the pilots there why the event was taking place at all. If it was the natural progression from app review, to job fair meet and greet, then hogan, then interview, it makes sense. But since they are sending applicants direct to the Hogan then interview, why the extra hoop for us? If every applicant had to go through this, then it makes sense. But they do not. I didn't get a real answer. It was still awesome and I'm glad I got to go.

It says A LOT about one if you got picked to go. Especially when theres still know people with strong apps, been to job fairs, had a CP M&G, and been told by recruiters/app review service "app looks good, should be getting an email soon" and crickets.
But until you go through the CURRENT process of an HPI pass, THEN a 45-60 min of F2F/2 on 1/TMAAT session, well, perspective.......
