Question
Hi I am currently attending a CTI program in Miami and expect to graduate this Dec.  I just took the OPM exam on Nov 19.  I was just wondering how much of an effect does the test score have on how fast you may get hired.  

 I aslo would like to know how many people are getting hired this year since I just found out that they just lifted the hiring freeze and called up students to go to OKC by January.

Answer
Hi Dave,
  I'm sorry to say that I am not much help.  I have no idea what effect that the test score has on getting hired.  I didn't even know they were giving the test.  
I, too, have heard rumors that the FAA will be hiring next year, but I don't know if they are true or not.   I also heard the same rumors last year.

Sorry that I couldn't be of any help.

Good luck on getting hired, we could use the help.
