I have seen guys wear a tie for their Oral Exams as well. I would recommend that as well.

Any little stuff you will be able to find since you have a vehicle. There is a Staples, a grocery store and mall not that far away with wheels.

I cannot speak to the tie. None of us wore them for the oral or flight check when I went thru but that was 767 training at Boeing.

I drove and it was really helpful. I am sure with the current hotel situation it pay dividends. I also brought a bike...I only rode it 2-3X but I think some of the local bike paths are routes are open again.

How did this tie thing get started at Atlas? I have 9 type ratings at 4 different airlines and have never worn or seen anyone wear one for a type ride, until here.

Obviously it is an antiquated culture thing, judging from ID pictures, the no tie break occurred about 8 or 9 years ago.

I don't agree with it at all, but if you're on the -400, wear the tie. All of our APDs walk around wearing the ties when they are doing orals or types. It's a respect thing but it needs to go away.

OK, online assessment = Passed! The test gouge on this thread, even from years ago, is spot on. Some of the questions are tough but overall the test is straight forward.

After rooting around quite a bit on this thread I can't seem to find any current info on what is asked during the phone interview. Clearly timing of the call can vary widely, but very little has recently been discussed regarding its content.

Anyone here been through the process lately?

The phone screen has not changed in the last 5 years, except that it now comes after the online test. Search this thread.

Bring a speaker for music in your room. Swimsuits for Miami Beach. A wakeboard for the Ronix wake park in Ft Lauderdale. Set up an Uber account for taxis when you don't want to drive to a bar. Get some wall stick for putting posters of the cockpit on the walls. Plenty of highlighters and pencils. There is an Office max nearby. Bottle or 2 of Jack Daniels to get started. Rosetta Stone Spanish. A sense of humor. A tie for the oral and type ride.
