I am not trying to beat down anyone.
I interviewed in june with a group of 9 pilots.
5 made it trough the sim.
Everybody did great during the interviews and assesments.
The least experienced and least outgoing one is the only guy who had his references checked and got an offer.
I know I did my best and thought I did great, but my references were never checked and I got a "No thank you" a month later with no explanation.
I don't know of anyone who had his references not checked and got the job. But then I may be wrong.
Best of luck if they haven't called yet, but don't keep your hopes too high.
I don't think that most of the hiring department is muslim and doing ramadan though.
