every fiber of my body wishes it was even remotely true!

The fact is, hardly any airline with decent working conditions and pay needs pilots nowadays and can afford to be as picky as their capricious little heart desires!

Still patiently waiting. Sounds like we all might be in the same boat.

Historically, that would mean 25-35 pilots needed/hired

It's NOT 3-5 years ago, when they ACTUALLY could be picky. They've dropped the mins, multiple times. They've made the test EASIER, YES, EASIER. Combined with a healthy amount of gouge out there now. And they've eliminated some of the asinine stupidity of the F2F process.

Reference the above in response to NightIP.

I was called for the October 6-8th interviews in MIA.

Selected the 8th, and was told 25 other interviewees will be in attendance.

Test offered in April, taken in June, called for October after declining the August interviews due to personal reasons.

Good luck everyone.

Feedback i've heard is that the test is unchanged from when they went to the 100-question version. What has been changed to make it easier?

When I took it, which I'm pretty sure was a similar time you took it, it was 50 questions, and still took close to the full hour for some.

But many of them were pretty obscure questions, asked vaguely with vague/which is most right or least wrong type answers.

Sure, there was gouge, but it was a little "rough". And we all took it "CRM" style, which helped .

Now, although it's more questions, it's more ATP bank based, and not written by an office/cubicle dweller that hardly flies. Around 2010 guys that had plenty of heavy/int'l experience had problems with. Also, there's been some pretty good gouge put together, or so I've heard.......
