Then about 10 people before me on standby didn’t show up For the 2nd flight and I got on that, making it to my hotel at about 11 Pm Chicago time. Then up at 6 am, hotel shuttle messed up my travel so i was 20 mins late. About 12 guys. We all introduced ourselves, listened to the air Wisconsin shpeel then had 2 mins to explain any system of the aircraft we currently fly ( surprise ) then took a 50 question test in 15 mins. Then 30 mins for lunch then bam 6 or 7 guys including myself got cut. No feedback. No test score feedback or review. Just bye bye. I can’t have gotten less then 90% on the test so they must’ve been looking for 100%. Hopefully the guys that passed can give their reviews and insight. For as much preparation as i put in and exactness that they required which i felt I heeded, I was disappointed In how they handled sending people home without any feedback. They’re bragging about how they’re all a family and how they treat people with so much respect but that isn’t how any of us that got cut felt. So just some honest feedback from a recent experience with them.

It was the Airman Trainee interview, they made it sound like the conversion to FO after the AT program was just a tech interview over the phone.

I’m wondering if being late to the interview was a factor.
