Kell

What would you recommend for studying for the written? I have a fellow instructor that has an interview on the 20th and is a little concerned with the test. Thanks.

Test was probably the hardest part of the interview. Aviationinterviews.com has a pretty good gouge on the test, but make sure you check the answers as some of them are actually wrong. Best thing to do is read the question, and then look up the answer. That's what I did.

Oh, and aviationinterviews.com is actually FREE to get all the info, you just gotta know which links to click on.

adreamer · March 13th, 2006, 09:14

Well, which link I need to click on to find the test?

falconvalley · March 13th, 2006, 11:39

He meant there is a free link and a not free link to access aviationinterviews. The test isn't in it's completeness. You still have to piece it together by reading all the entries.

Thank you and congratulations on your new job.

The airlines know that the pilots coming to interview probably have some clue on how to fly....The written tests that they give boil down how much an applicant prepared him/herself for their interview. It doesn't matter if one has a DC-9 type rating or is a low time CFI or 5000 hour furloughed 121 pilot. Anyone can study the ATP gleim book and pass the written...they want to see how much you prepared yourself which shows how much you really want to work for their airline.

Hey Congrats man, I wish you all the best. it is nice to see the hard work is paying off.
Things like this just add more boost for me to become a pro pilot. again Congrats.

Kell Congrats man, I remember talking to you a while ago and you were just getting your CFI's.

"The written tests that they give boil down how much an applicant prepared him/herself for their interview"

So, the CAPT guy wasn't prepared. What does that tell you?

He didn't want the job very bad? (why go to the interview).
CAPT did a poor job of educating him on the expectations of an airline interview?
He didn't do his research?
He expected the job to be handed to him on a silver platter because he was a CAPT guy with a 9 type?

I don't know. Just doesn't make much sense to me.

NYer914 · March 21st, 2006, 00:02

I absolutley agree with you...his head was probably enormous because he came from ERAU...it's funny though how many of those guys that I have seen at my time at ATP not get hired by airlines because of thier cocky "I went to Embry Riddle and rose peddles should be thrown on the ground that I walk" attitude.

Raskolnikov · March 25th, 2006, 17:39

I know this is a month old. But I just want to say congrats and good luck. Nice job!

higney85 · May 4th, 2006, 22:25

have you heard any rumors regarding future hiring?.... say a july class?

PeanuckleCRJ · May 25th, 2006, 16:09

Plenty of hiring going on... if you have the time and want an interview, you should be able to get one.

kellwolf · May 26th, 2006, 16:11

We've been having new hire FO classes about every two weeks. Since this is mainly due to attrition (which shows no signs of letting up), I'd expect it to continue.
