If it was really a 50 question test, it must be brand new. The airman trainees got the 10 question test at my interview a few weeks ago. The FOs only got 25 questions.

Agreed, when I wen’t to interview it was 10 for ATs and 25 for FOs. Think this is a tad bit of an exaggeration from a frustrated individual. Could be wrong but just my opinion.

He's not exaggerating, I was in the same group and we were all quite surprised.

Wow. That’s ridiculous. ZW seems like it is changing for the worse if they are going the path said, with this and letting people go in training for no real reason...

in my last call with recruiter ge said there would be changes to the AT program, because of the high % of people who use it just for the benefits. They said they had an AT who was hired by another regional for months before quitting the AT program, once his new benefits kicked in....not sure what other changes are coming, but sounded like the larger test is just the beginning...

They still haven’t forgotten. Expect a bill in the mail.

I'm not understanding why a 50 question test is so unreasonable.

Default That’s reasonable

I would approve of them restricting the airman trainee position to those who are serious about flying with them. Why should they spend hundreds or Thousands of dollars to help someone who is just there to get benefits then leave. It takes their resources away from those who are flying for them.

This isn’t surprising. I was always amazed that the program was so one sided towards the applicants. You could get paid, not show up for class, and owe air-wisc nothing. Crazy.
