Thanks! I opened that attachment and some of the inputs didn’t seem right from when I extracted it from Google sheets. Here’s the link to avoid that.

I would trust Rufio more. I have just heard that from many places. I guess the rationale is while there is also a lack of aviators, there's an even bigger gap with the number of FOs. Even further,
I was pretty sure in this fiscal year's selection process makes it so you have to apply for both if you qualify, but I could be wrong on that. Take it with a grain of salt since this is a lot of through the grapevine stuff, but I'm positive I've seen it on these forums before that it hurts your chances if you only apply for one.

I would say that if you apply for both, they will very likely take you as an NFO because of the forementioned NFO gap. As RUFiO said, only apply for the positions you desire. My recruiter has echoed this sentiment.

Since my package is already up at NRC is it possible to take me number 2 choice of NFO off and just leave SNA. Or do I just have to see what the results are now.

It's too late now.

Hey guys, I'm taking the ASTB-E next week. Anyone have any advice on the mechanical comprehension section? This seems to be the only section that gives me trouble.
