... and no tents or MREs! Don't forget that. I'm an old Starlifter guy but your words are just as true for that comparison. I'm loving life here.

I studied "Ace the Technical Pilot Interview" and I would say that's an excellent guide for studying. There really isn't time during the test to look anything up, and they only give you a few days to take the test, so I would definitely be studied up if you're hoping to get an invitation to take it. Thanks again everyone!

Nicely done! Let us know when you get the phone call/interview.

Being that they are no longer conducting a phone interview first, is there a chance of not getting the call after passing the online test? Also my resume was submitted quite a while back, should I keep applying at this point or wait and see if they call and then update at that time?

Why would you not reapply? Showing continued interest will not be looked at in a bad way.... plus, if you don't make it, you've already got your name back in the hat

If you are on a MAC, there are some issues. Search this thread for MAC for more information...I don't know the fix off hand.

Please don't tell folks you used a MAC. Following directions is a big part of applying to any job.

From the application website:
"Please click the link below to complete the PAQ:

Pilot Applicant Questionnaire

The PAQ cannot be accessed via any MAC device."

It's fine. Just use Adobe Reader instead of Preview.
