General Overview of Experience	Originally I failed the HR portion of the interview back in 2015 and was asked to call back in 6 months. However, it was a bit misleading since when I called back I was told I wouldn’t be scheduled for an interview but would be contacted by Delta at a future date for a reinterview. This process took an additional 6 months. I travelled positive space to Atlanta. Originally I wanted to stay at the Hilton but even with the DAL Employee Rate it was still too expensive so I found a way cheaper rate at the Hotel Indigo-College Park and used their hotel shuttle to get to HQ then Uber to get back. The Interview People were nice enough and try to make you relax with the usual Schpeel of be yourself etc. I will say that their process is very organized vs airlines like Southwest so at least that takes care of some of the stress. Then at the end of the long day they announce the people who will continue and those who will be sent home. I felt I performed the same in this interview vs the last but due to luck or a change in their hiring mentality I was able to continue on to the second day.

What was the hardest technical question or content you experienced during the job knowledge test?	The test seemed easier than my first interview. Biggest thing I can stress like everyone else has stated is know he concepts as well as solid definitions might have been more beneficial for me since their questions often take a different format from the RST Study Bank.
Cog Test	Way easier than the RST Program which is awesome. Keep studying on the Jet Brain Games and you will find you will have a lot more SA and crucial seconds to make your selections.
