We could consider interview prep “cheating” too.

Let me illustrate/breakdown an example;

Pilots are at a seminar/workshop, either live/in person or on via webinar. Person/consultant hosting starts with going around the group with at TMMAT question. Pilot answers in the most wrong way someone could. Not only is it not in STAR format, but isn’t polished nor resembling what HR likes to hear. As an example, a CRM/teamwork question that didn’t go well.

Pilots have interviewed at DAL/FX without doing the tech test prep and passed. Others, although extremely intelligent and great pilots have failed. But the people that do the prep and are basically told what to expect and make passing it more a probability, well, “cheating”?

Consultant basically tells them how answer and/or think of another story. Don’t have one? Better make one up. Think that doesn’t happen? One of the VERY GOOD prep services has posted on this message board EXACTLY THAT.

Had said pilot not bothered to seek out/attend help on how to get through the interview and gone in “cold”, they would have blew it. The help/info posted here about the Hogan is pretty much accurate from my own, as well as others expedience. I know plenty that didn’t take advice and answered what they THINK they should answer. And I haven’t run into anyone that had their spouse over their shoulder that passed it, but I know 3 that did have their spouse there and didn’t pass.

Cheating? You tell me....

We could spilt hairs all day long on where that line falls.
