I would say you need to study to some extent but only to know where things are quickly. You'll waste most of your time reading the questions so don't mess around looking things up for too long. Definitely DO NOT study only ATP test questions unless they've recently changed the test. There are questions about international ops, more detailed weather theory, etc.

They changed the test about 3 months ago...I was told the old test was too hard, and they changed it to a "standard" ATP-type test that is easy to pass.

I think Atlas would be better off getting rid of the test completely.

Unconfirmed as some of the guys I've helped recently are slack at getting back to me. But I believe the test is on basically it's THIRD revision. With most if not all the questions coming from the ATP.

Versus some obscure crap written by an office lackey in the head shed.

As of December a person I know said it still had international ops, weather, and the usual worthless knowledge it always had when he took it.

I took the test the end of December, I studied pretty hard for it since I had heard it was pretty thorough. I was pleasantly surprised, some of the questions are right out of the ATP written but not all. The only questions that caught me off guard were the runway illusion ones, 4 or 5 questions on that subject.

Call all of your pilot buddies to be there with you. Take the test. Then serve cheap beer and chain pizza as that is all you'll be able to afford on 4 months training pay and first year guarantee.

Is the best way to update the resume just filling out the PAQ and emailing again as flight times and things change?

Default Waiting on call from HR after passing online

Understand positions are being filled for the March class. I am wondering of any information or advice on the time and perhaps content for the next phase of the HR phone interview.

I am hoping to join the ranks of "Giants" and fly once again with old friends and new friends on old stomping grounds.

Tailwinds,
Scott
