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!!

 

How are the invites to take the online assessment made, email or phone call? I busted my phone and have to wait 'till payday to get another one. I hope they haven't called me and gave up.

 

Yeah, it's not supposed to work like that anymore. I'd reach out if I were you. Used to be you were called out of the pool based on your overall score, which was re-ranked every time a new group was interviewed. If you scored low, conceivably you could've languished near the bottom for a long, long time. (One guy was in the pool for 1.5 years before getting a call) Now, there are three codes - Highly Recommend, Recommend, and Not Recommended (or something similar). Considering the amount of classes since September, I'd say you're overdue.

 

Is everyone updating their application by emailing new PAQ with the updated flight time or is there another method?

 

I know you've all heard it before but people are leaving here at an alarming rate. 2 more that I know of left this week. I've never seen more open time flying in my time here (5 years). Additionally, the air freight market is showing signs of significant improvement. IMHO, the hiring will continue at a blistering rate.

 

Where did they go?

 

As It was posted before, a new hires get ZED after 6 months with Atlas...
Would a new hire have to wait 6 months to have access to myidtravel site? Reason I'm asking is that in order to list for a jumpseat on JetBlue one has to make a listing via myidtravel exclusively. Change in B6 policy about a month or so ago... No over the phone service anymore.

 

Invite is by E-mail.
No need for a phone.
