Hey, cropduster! Congratulations on passing the exam! I, too, have been given the opportunity to take the assesment. I'm in the middle of a trip so I haven't taken it yet. Is there any insight you could provide in regards to types of stuff asked? I have looked at pretty much every page in this thread, gathered up " Everything explained...", atp test questions, WX stuff, even NAT operation manuals, yadda yadda yadda. I just don't want to blow this thing! Any help you could provide would be über cool of you! Anyway, congrats again!
. After all, they encouraged us to take our systems test with group (hint hint) effort.Just don't serve the beer to your pilot friends until after the test.

Do you really believe that the decision to stay or go will pivot on if you are or aren't mad over someone junior to you making more money? Personally, I don't care what others make as long as I'm paid in accordance with the contract.

Ok, so I don't get it, but you have all the answers. So, you're ExCo for a day and the company wants to know what they have to do to improve retention, without breaking the bank and opening any section of the contract....What say you?

more efficient planning with an actual credit system would allow more days off and making the same amount of money...win win. That will give the biggest bang for the buck for the majority around here I believe. I love coming to work here, I love the flying....been doing this stuff for 15 years, love the flexibility, but I have never been gone from home this much every single month and still making less than I did at 14-15 days a month.
