Yes
I finished my CTI between the two bids. Been applying since 2017 as pool 2 while I was in school
If you didnt pass the test which I'm assuming is like below 70 perc, then you werent referred
I know people from previous years who were in pool 1 and not referred
A few people did. MJ wants people to take this poll

I still have less than a year left on my military contract. I was told to apply just to see what it was like and to see for myself so next time I’ll be better prepared. I’m 26, so hopefully next time I test I get BQ and ride that train of letting my score rollover to the next bid if I don’t get a referral next time. I have prior experience as a Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) member in the Air Force but I can’t show for it on the test. lol-Current Job: Executive Flight Attendant.
FY 2019 ended at the end of September. We are now in FY 2020.

Have you seen anyone in pool 1 get best qualified?
And that's what happens when you lurk under someone else's profile lol that was NOT Dante. My bad :/
Also: pool 2, best qualified, referred, shocked as hell

Pool 2, best qualified, not referred. I called the number and spoke to some nice lady that explained that due to some legislation they can only take 10% of applicants from each pool, and there’s nothing they can do about the algorithm. She told me to keep applying and not to retest because my score was already high. So if you scored BQ, I’d do the same. She said there will be another announcement in either January or February so for all of us that didn’t get it this round, it’s only a few months away!
I know someone who is P1 BQ.
so based on the explanation from the lady, does it mean that people who got best qualified and referred this time around are about to get a TOL? Otherwise why would she tell Mandy that 10% of applicants can be selected after she was best qualified and not referred

I think it’s pretty safe to assume you’ll get a TOL if you got referred this bid. It may not be until around Christmas though.
It's not 10% but within 10% of each pool. So one pool is not going to have more or less han 10% of another who got referred. This effectively puts a hard cap on how many pool 2 applicants get picked up since there are significantly more of them.
She said nothing about a TOL specifically. I didn’t ask because I obviously won’t be getting one this round. I highly encourage anyone to call that number and ask as many questions as you want.
I got the same score, I haven't seen anyone and all my friends got pool 1 qualified
