great but why post it for management to know some love there job here. Take a POW/SERE/UPS stance in fact all of us should.... im tired, hungry, and well underpaid. C'mon guys are we rookies here?! All they need is 1028 tepid kool aid drinkers that want to live where they want to live and not commute or live near a legacy base. this isn't a personal attack and glad you love your job but why post it here or anywhere for management to read!? We need to take our own personal daily negotiating strategy to get what you want. I love my job and will say it needs to be improved but keep hiking the daily skirt for the company is a losing strategy! Sick Tired hungry underpaid...

Hello forum...I just took the online test a few days ago. Anyone know how the score is determined? Is it a percentage from the total 100 questions or a percentage of the questions your answered? My score was crap, but I'm trying to figure out what it was based on. Any help or insight is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I only got through 49 of the 100 questions and skipped a couple of those to try to come back to later. My score when my time ran out was 38!...I was pretty shocked to see that score, because if I only got a 38% that means that I only answered around 17 questions correct out of the 45 our so that I actually answered. There's no way that I only answered 17 correctly, I would guess that I may have missed one or two, but not 62% incorrectly. That's why I'm curious as to what the score is based on...supposedly, the questions you don't answer aren't counted against you.

When I interviewed, a 66 or higher was a passing grade. Sorry to hear you had such difficulty, there's a lot of good gouge on here about how to take the test and do well enough. Utilize CRM and guess/tag questions that would bog you down and you should be able to get through all 100 questions and have time to go back and review.

Did HR tell you the questions you don't answer aren't counted against you? Never heard that before - that would be a major shift.

In 6 months apply again. And for the next test have 4 or 5 friends there with laptops to help you. If you can not do that, don't feel badly. Neither can the guy at home in Idaho who has 20 years of real world experience but is now unemployed in the middle of nowhere.
If this test was real they would do it at the interview. But they don't, and it isn't. But it does work well for those in a crash pad whose real goal is Delta.

No, they aren't getting fed up over it and it doesn't cost them the amount of money you think. There is a STACK of resumes of people wanting to work for Atlas as proved by this thread alone. Their training costs are so low that the revolving door doesn't hurt them enough, because it clearly doesn't show in their willingness to change anything. The only thing that will make them aware is if the planes stop moving, which they haven't had much of a hiccup with yet...(keep on out basing!!!) They do not care about you, or us, or hiring, or other contracts, or training expenses. If they did, don't you think it would be clear? Do you really think they are forward looking? No, and its clear every single day out on line. There hasn't been one single indication from Atlas that the things you mention are true. Money is the only thing they understand and we haven't communicated that well enough yet, believe it.
Keep that cost in mind when profit sharing gets reduced due to that cost.
Yes, there is a "stack." Expect them to use a much finer comb as they go through it.
