Those who think you just apply and get those jobs have probably never held them. On most properties, you have to kiss a lot of ass and play golf or drink with the right people to get those jobs. Some people are locked out of this jobs because of who they are, or because they don't look like the people doing the hiring. So they're worthless things to grade people on. It doesn't give you better pilots, it gives you pilots who the day they get off probation, start captaining from the right seat. Who wants to spend 4 days with that? I'd rather have the line pilot who moves the freight.
And before someone hands me sour grapes, I'm not looking for a job, I'm good where I am. Just something I've noticed after decades in this industry.

I will always say.
Flying is the easiest , rewarding job I have ever have, of course training, recurrent,line check, difficult people to fly ,you name it,etc bring little stress to me.
The most difficult job with the right people will be the easiest job to do.
The most easiest job with the difficult people will be tourtre,my few cents.

Has anyone taken this new test yet? I'm assuming they changed it.
