Welcome all to the waiting game of your future. If this is your first time aboard the slow train to OKC follow these guidelines and everything in the world will be okay.
1. There will be forum trolls with fake accounts
2. There will probably be the same questions asked over and over again, don't be surprised if anyone gets mad and says "check the FAQ"...but you probably should check the FAQ.... ?, but also don't be afraid to ask questions, there are a lot of people on this forum that have a lot of knowledge with the process. To answer one of the most common questions that I saw in the last bid:
ATCprep.com is a great piece of study material for the first half of the test. LSAT logical reasoning practice questions can help you with the second half.
3. No one is actually 100% certain of what HR is thinking or their so it is mostly speculation/hearsay/based on prior bids
4. Don't quit your job or stop your life just because you applied. It could be at least 5-6 months from today before you are able start training (if you are lucky enough to get a TOL(Temporary offer letter) that turns into an FOL(Final offer letter))
5. Most of all, sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.
If you are curious as to what the timeline of the beginning steps of the last bid was, look in my signature below and that should help.
