Nope, word search in our CBA yields no results for "laundry" and several related terms. It is indeed nice to have it, but not required per the CBA.

Well somehow I got them to pay for laundry on the card (authorization) with that line over the phone so I guess I set the precedent! There is an FCR too, but this was 2 years ago.

For those who have taken online assessment recently, any recommended study materials?

That does not mean it can be supported in the CBA. You got lucky, and got clean clothes out of it.

However, there is nothing in the CBA about a lot of things, yet they do it -- a lot of it against us, and some of it in our favor.

Heard it's been changed from the 100-question, arcane, ball-buster to a straightforward ATP test. Can any recent takers confirm?

I was told the above about a week ago by a mgmt pilot who is involved in the hiring process. Said the test was changed about end Oct 2014.

Will ask

I just did the test at the end of January, so I would assume that I had the latest set of questions. It's hard to explain, but although some questions are more difficult, overall the test is not too difficult, as the answers you have to chose from are fairly logical, or quite simply, you do know the answers because they are of an ATP level.

I had some questions about what type of drag, which I may have flunked, because let's face it, my private was over 25 years ago!...
So a look of this section in the chapter 4 of the FAA pilot's handbook of aeronautical knowledge will help.

I also found a new booklet to read at your bedside table, perfect to give you a good night of sleep. Be familiar with codes and more especially chart symbol. FAA AC circular on aviation weather

I had a few questions on the usual calculations you may be asked at an interview regarding crossing a VOR with time, distance, rate of descent, etc... Sounds somewhat easy, but the problem is that you only have so much time!
A counter at the bottom left of the screen remind you that you are answering 100 questions in 60 minutes, and how you are doing. That's 36 seconds per. Some you will answer in less time than that, but others?...well, better move on to another one and come back later for it, as you will be able to do this.

I suggest that you devote your time doing this with no interruption whatsoever. I personally did it at home, kid and wife in bed.

Somewhere on this thread, are buried a good number of the questions that have been asked in the past. I would say 75% of the test still incorporate the same questions, although it appears that each test does not look exactly alike. They must have a different set that they send out for each individual.

I hope this help with your question.


PS: I have done the test and passed the 3 weeks ago.
That same week, I went to the job fair in Miami, hoping to convince them that I was the best pilot they have ever seen. (It did not work!...:-)
So I just sent this week an E-mail politely asking if there was any chance I could be on the list in the coming interviews? The answer I got was that I still have to wait for the phone interview call from the hiring manager. This surprised me a bit, because I was hoping that a job fair would bypass this process, as you are essentially answering the same questions, but in person this time.
Ah well, such is life.

Next, I will probably ask if I can wash his/her car or mow the lawn when spring comes in Purchase.

I feel your pain completely! Passed the test in Sept and have been to two job fairs. I have internals and everything but can't crack the call. Hopefully we get some good new soon!

Puckhead,

It may be time to write an email to HR and also one to your sponsors. Have your sponsors ask if there is anything more that can be done. You have waited long enough after passing the test, and it is high time for a call from the 914 area code!!
