The actual interview cogscreen was slightly different but not a game-changer due to the practice. All of the guys who were unsuccessful went and bought the practice, and successfully reinterviewed in 6 months.
I know, I know, you shouldn't have to buy time for an interview, but do you want the job or not ? Many of the gamblers lost 6 months of seniority and still had to buy the practice..........also, the Emerald Coast interview prep was invaluable.

My point in bold was THEY were saying scores dont improve. I am confident repeated practice on anything typically improves the score, including this kind of test. If you were disagreeing that the screen didn't eliminate some pilots, I thought I pointed out both companies had significant attrition. In either case, always enjoy your two company perspective and hope you are having a blast.
