I hear lots fail still, lack of study sounds like. The testing is no joke.

I failed the test at an interview for another airline. There are many different banks on the knowledge test. The first time I had most of the questions dealing with Mach number calculations Mach to IAS and back and forth. Also dme arcs using Mach number plus high speed aerodynamics.

The second time I took it at compass it had basic aerodynamics navigation a couple holding questions and a few others. Otherwise totally different

I just interviewed with ExpressJet last week and they've changed up their testing. Ditched the 60 question Delta test for a 45 question ATP type written test. So similar to the ATP I got the exact same score on both, and didn't find out they had made the change till the morning of the interview. I'm wondering if other regionals might follow suit.

I believe a part of the guaranteed interview is that Compass has to maintain using the tests.

Read this from the most recent "Compass Points":

"We are in the middle of a base study that will likely show that we need an additional crew base west of MSP." Straight from our fearless leader.
