yes, yes, yes, yes and yes…. new everything the only time I wore the Suit was fittings. Digital log book was over 600 pgs they commented that it was one of the thickest ones they saw… they asked for a date for a solo and bam! I had it they looked and where surprised I knew it…

I had a sense when AK met with us all in the morn, there was something he didn't like about me. My panel was 70 mins long, everyone else was 30-45 mins.

All of the guys that i have talked with who were hired, stated they were surprised at how easy the questions were, whereas the ones that were not offered a CJO had felt the questions were different in nature and much more ambiguous.

granted they have multiple question sets, many feel (including those CJO candidates) they have certain sets that are used for candidates that are hired.

As an outsider looking in and reading this post, I can certainly see that they would make comment that the difference was preparedness or the history of the applicant. you've got to remember that the HR team has the luxury of looking at our entire employment files which they don't have access too with an outside candidate.

The pilots that interviewed and double "bumped" all stated that they felt the outcome was predetermined before they even showed up.

The HR guy for my interview was not a happy guy, I got along great with the Pilots! they liked my answers, The HR did not! as with his comments after each answer.

I think the answer to the written tests is that they want consistency and accuracy. It doesn't matter if you finish the test or not, its all about the cadence.

Most that were hired felt they had done terrible on the tests and didn't complete them and so on.

I and another was told by AK, We are not considered for employment today nor the future. hmmm ok … WOW!!

Ehh what ever, its water under the bridge now.
It wasn't my day!

However now they want me to help them with their new hires?… that's why the anger with a lot of us.
