I took the online test this morning but had a few technical missteps which lead to logging three attempts.

1. For my first attempt I used a browser without flash. In the instructions it says to use a computer rather than a tablet, which I did. But in order to minimize the chance of a crash during the test I used a computer with a freshly installed OS and a new browser profile. The system prompted me to install the Flash Plugin in order to proceed and logged a test attempt.

2. After I completed the test my login session had expired and I did not see a score or know if the test results were submitted. It appears this was due to the one hour period of inactivity that elapsed in the non-test window while I was taking the test in the popup window.

3. I logged in again attempting to view a score and questions missed. The system logged a third test attempt.

Has anyone else experienced this? I imagine the session timeout (bullet 2) is hitting everyone. Is it a negative having the system log 3 test attempts?

 

I think support needs to reset the test if you need another actual attempt. I don't think they look at the software "attempts" as actual test attempts. To be realistic, they probably match your score to your resume/profile without paying any attention to that. I think mine showed 2, IIRC.

Has anyone used the airlineapps resume mailer? Curious how that worked since the questionnaire cannot be attached.

 

That is not the preferred method to apply. That has been on airlineapps for a long time and it needs to be removed. Please follow the instructions here to successfully apply.

I was talking to a Polar cargo employee. He said Atlas is best off with a mix of 777 and -8s for freighters. He said some trips are best served by the -8 (like flowers out of South America) and some are best served by the -777, like general cargo out of HKG.

Hopefully we have enough pilots to get more -8s and also -777s.

 

The -8's might be -400 replacements as we move forward. 777's would probably be growth if we ever get them. Doesn't sound like any big rumors currently for this year with either. Hiring strictly for attrition and inefficient scheduling as far as I can tell. Fingers crossed that we can see growth again soon.

 

Training/interviewing is ramping up to full capacity, if not already. Company asked the union for twice the number of hiring reps than normal for April interviews. Lots of new DEs on the 747 side. If that's all for attrition, we can't handle any growth.

Someone mentioned Flynn said the -8 options would used to replace older -400s.

 

Losing 4-5 a month according to CP, hiring is much more than that.

 

4-5 a month may not seem like much, but it's 5-6% of the seniority list over a year.

Well, I guess miracles can happen. I just received an invite to take the online technical test. I'm extremely excited. Now, time to study!
