Thanks so much for the info, so glad to hear it will work because I don't have a Windows computer. Hopefully I can do it on the Safari browser, but if not I can download Mozzilla. Does the Chrome browser work with Mac, and if so would you recommend Chrome over Mozzilla? Which browser did you use to take the test on your MacBook Pro? Thanks again!

Maybe their web site is not up to date? Anyway, with the application completed and sent in, I was wondering if anyone knew if I would be able to complete the online test (if given the opertunity) on my MacBook Pro? Or if unable to using my Safari browser, is their another browser I could download that would work? Thanks for any info you can provide!
Granted, it was 5+ years ago when I took it.

But I think I was trying one browser, and the first question that popped up and required a diagram (the JFK -9/clnc question) it froze the test and I couldn't do ANYTHING. I went into a panic thinking I was done.

I simply closed it, opened the test in another browser, and it worked fine. I'm sure the IT dept has fixed that issue

Thanks FrancesTheMute. How long ago did you take the test? Glad it worked with Safari, I would prefer not to have to download another browser if I don't have to, but if that's what I need to do, I'll definitely do it Lol!

Thanks John Carr, glad to hear that if that happens, that I can just close it out and open it again. I probably would have a heart attack if that had happened to me Lol!

Chrome works fine on Mac. I used Mozilla when I took the exam in July. It did not look as they said it would, but it was fine for taking the test. Good luck on the test, and make sure you are ready to finish it without distractions before you start. You have no time for distractions or breaks once you start.

Default interviews

For those that were not offered a physical interview date during their HR phone call, did any of you subsequently get offered an interview date? If so, how long after? If not, we you given any official notice of not being selected, or any guidance on reapplying later at that point?

Uh, there is no 31st of September. They can move fast when they need to; when I came here it was two weeks from initial application to interview, then four weeks to the day for my checkride (767 short course).

They told me the 31st of August! not sure how many slots, it might have just been some last minute seats. Either way I figured it was a quick process!

The online test depends on the Flash plugin.

They told me they needed to talk with the chief pilot (typically bad news) then called and offered me the interview 30 minutes later.
