Again, the training instructors do a very good job with making sure everyone knows exactly what is expected of them with regards to the exams. AC18-2 had 3 ac’s fail rules and 1 ac fail air brake. Air brake is definitely easier but the prospect of an easier topic shouldn’t lull any ac’s into a sense of security. Study study study. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PotentialAcCandidate Posted May 4, 2018 Share #793 Posted May 4, 2018 Hi everyone, I am new to this forum, but I have been following this fourm on the low ever since i attended the A/C Trainee open house in Mid-February. I passed the Intial exams, and interviews. Then studied my butt off, and passed the signals and definitions exams, which was a sigh of relief. I feel like I did well on the panel interview. I was interveiwed by Linda Oliver and another gentlemen who I believe was the superintendent. It’s been exactly seventeen days, this is the third week, and I haven’t heard any feedback. Can anybody provide some kind of insight? I sent a thank you email on April 18, the day after the exam and interview. Ms. Oliver replied w/ a smiley face which made me feel very confident. But up until this point, I have received no feedback. I’ve thought about sending another email, but I don’t want to send a premature email and jeapordize anything. Also twenty people took the exam, only eight of us passed. So at this point I’m not quite sure. I would really appreciate it if somebody can give me some insight, before I send Ms. Oliver another email. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also what is the average timeframe to receive feedback? There's no average timeframe, it's different for everyone based on where HR is in the process of filling classes. The last class started at the end of February, no new classes have started yet. They almost never start classes in the summer, so you may not hear anything until during the summer for a class starting in September. Just keep studying your signals and definitions so you don't forget them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotentialAcCandidate Posted May 5, 2018 Share #799 Posted May 5, 2018 @Two2go Thanks a lot. I really appreciate that feedback right there.

misslo Posted May 5, 2018 Share #800 Posted May 5, 2018 Good morning. I applied on the website earlier in February for assistant conductor trainee. I haven’t gotten a response. I see that people have already started the process. I am over here wondering where is my letter. 🧐😞 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
