I've been reading all the gouges online at sites like willflyforfood and aviationinterviews.com

Honestly, I'm stressing about the computer knowledge test (I'm a flight instructor with no turbine experience). I have been reading everything explained for the professional pilot, and the turbine pilot's flight manual, as well as practicing the delta test sheppard air questions. I just want to pass the battery of tests and get my chance at the panel interview so I can explain why I want to be a part of the Compass team.

Any advice or words of wisdom are greatly appreciated!

If you have enough time go to the delta, compass, and express jet gouges and look at all the questions for a good idea of the questions. Make sure you know all the descent rules of thumb for ground speed and also Mach number, how to calculate crosswinds and which engine is the worst to have fail in a crosswind, sequence of starting and what to look for. Don't forget about the cognitive test, because people have failed it. Do the free version of lumosity, some people say it doesn't do anything but after doing it for a few weeks every day I sure noticed a difference.

It seems like a lot but keep doing what you are doing. Take the advice from the previous poster and just over prepare the best you can. Good luck!

I used the Delta gouge and also looked at Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators. Luminosity works well to prepare you for the cog test. Good luck!

Are people being hired here with restricted ATPs and less than 1500hrs?
One of the adjustments to the CBA through the LOA referenced the FOM and hiring minimums but didn't specify min requirements for an interview... Mr. Mustache you know anything?

Well a few posts up a guy said he got an interview with a restricted so I am assuming yes.

Maybe just hiring until he reaches 1500. I have like 1475 can meet the restricted minimums, but the recruiter seemed like he was wondering when I would reach 1500. My interview is in two weeks.

This is true, probably just taking a little bit for it to trickle its way down to the recruiting team.

The whole airline knows about the new LOA and since the recruiters are pilots I am guessing they know, especially since people are getting interviews with restricteds.

Do you still have to pay for your own hotel during training?
