The first of those might hit the line for OE late next month, and a recent P2P call said 767 OE was running six weeks behind. This is a train wreck the company has long seen coming, yet has done almost nothing to prevent, except maybe that illegal vacancy award in December.

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.

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?

I read up before taking it and some tips from the past test a few years ago were a big help. There was no international procedures on this one. The biggest help was the "Everything Explained for the Professional Pilot" book and the PDF version of the ATP test bank. You can search key words in the PDF which leads you right to the answer. I'd say about 20-30 questions were an exact replica of the ATP question. Also, be sure to have a chart of weather symbols handy along with decoded METAR and TAF abbreviations. You have about 36 seconds per question and I had 2 minutes to spare at the end. Skip the ones you get stuck on and come back to them when you are finished with the test. It also helps to have another buddy with you to help you find things. You don't really need to study for it, just know where to find everything. Good luck.
