It's taken me 10 times longer to type this up then it did to cover the issue during the interview.

With that in mind, does AA want to know about a Q2? I think the phrasing is something like "Qualified - additional training required" or something like that. Not good, but would AA see that as a bust?

I am starting to consider an app review. I've had my wife look it over and we both think it's good, but a professional would probably help at this point.

5900 total. 1000 TPIC.
5 type ratings (2 are SIC)
No check ride failures (not even a stage check)
Clean driving record
4 years 121, but I'm 91/135 now
Volunteered for 4 years with a local charity
3.85 GPA from Riddle with a business minor
Multiple academic/athletic awards while in college

I have 2 recommendations on my application. One is a current employee who I've know for years, but never flown with. The second is a retired Captain who I hired to fly with me after he turned 65. I've also known him for years.

June 2014 was my last initial. I work for a private family, so my next one won't be until they buy a new plane.

Does anyone else have suggestions about passing this test? I also got the -did not score high enough - message. Pretty annoying since every other part of my app is very strong. I’m sure I just over thought the questions but I don’t want to fail it again. For those of you who beat it, did you answer any of the questions with the most extreme (one way or the other) answer?

Has anyone used the Ace the Corporate Personality Test book that was mentioned on the last page?

I read the book and I think it helped. When I took the test the first time I didn’t take it seriously. Re-took the test after reading the book and passed...video interview a few weeks later, followed by additional info and invite to Dallas w/in a few days after that. Good luck.
