You will be notified by email if you are selected. We were notified exactly one month after we made the referral list.

The referral list is the easy part. Getting an interview is the hard part.

Thats if you go the non-PEPC route.

No it's the same. After you're selected for an interview you then have the option to to do PEPC or Non-PEPC route. But that has no bearing on your being selected at the hiring panel.

Whoa, now I'm confused. After the referral list, you do not hear anything UNTIL you are selected by the hiring panel. At least this is how I understood the process. Supposedly, the hard part is just getting selected from the referral list, and once you are, the interview is more or less just a formality.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but once you have a Pepc date, the job is more or less yours to lose. (as long as you dont fail the medical/psych)
At least this is what I have read on some of these other pubnat threads.

Nah you've got it right... referral list is where some people are cut... offer emails are where more people are cut. Once you have the offer email, whether you go the PEPC route or not, it's yours to lose.

That's what I said... Getting SELECTED for an interview. The interview itself is pretty easy.Whoa, now I'm confused.

ChiChi, do you, or anyone else for that matter, know how the hiring panel's application review point system works? I know its a combined point total from your ATSAT score and your application, but I'm wondering what they assign point values to on your application. Obviously, all of us applying have the minimum work experience or batchelors degree, but beyond that, I wonder what they look for.
Just curious if anyone has any inside information on that.....

The information you are looking for you aren't going to find here, unfortunately. I'd love to know myself, but all the guesses around here are just that - guesses. :crazy:

Nope... I've got nothing on that...
I wonder if the FAA even knows how it works :crazy:

It seems to me that a 4 year degree would be worth quite a bit in a points system...but who knows?
You can create a profile of the "perfect" ots candidate and then work backward from that. I would say the "perfect" ots candidate would be no younger than mid-20s (any younger= greater risk of immaturity/dubious decision making abilities; they know your approximate age by looking at your employment history and/or college history), a military veteran, with a college degree, some real world work experience, pilot's license (must help because they ask on the app), 100 AT-SAT score, and willing to relocate anywhere within the US and its territories. Most of us only fit a few of those categories...but hopefully it will be enough!

Less than two weeks tops until we see a referral list! Here's hoping we are all on it.....

At the end of the day, I think it all depends on which location you have selected, and what candidates you are up against in your own pubnat for that same location. Its really impossible to know. All we can really do is hope our location is hiring, and that we are one of the best qualified for that spot.

I agree on everything, minus the age thing. I think they only care if you're too old (i.e. older than 31). I'm 18 now and started the process at 17. I'm gonna have to say that the way they have their requirements set up, not many 17 year olds are going to be able to even first be considered for taking the test, and then the afterwards interview, training at OKC, and the following probation period at your facility. So if they could get someone at a younger age that's gonna be able to successfully do all that, i think they'd rather have him or her because they've proven to be an asset and just as capable as anyone else despite age.
Or maybe i'm biased and believe this because i want it to be true for me!:buck:
