General Overview of Experience They were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Paperwork, to include the logbook review, was a complete non-factor. HR panel was a little un-nerving, just 2 people staring at you blankly while you answer questions, but I believe that is by design. LOI was as-advertised. Practice that a few times and don’t panic, make a decision in the 7 minutes and remember it’s a CRM exercise.
