I have passed those test and I'm a pilot on one of those companies...and also I have passed one of the most difficult test in south america for LAN Airlines...
so I know one thing or two about passing test...
Im not blaming the company or the methods... Im just saying that if you have a pilot with previous 121 experience and had a bad day on the test , they should have a talk to him and see what can that person brings into the company.

[QUOTE=GrassLandings;1851103]Source on the 25 leaving in just a weeks time??? Havent heard that one yet.
I know of 4 non flow pilots leaving in April. 2 captains and 2 FO's. If the other 20 are flows and there is another I haven't heard about that would make 25.

However, thats not the whole story, they do talk to you before and after. Its not like they dont socialize or get to know you first. In fact, u dont start the tests for a long time after you get there. So they do place a lot of value on your personality. But if you bomb a test, just like in college, a fail is a fail. Personality won't save anyone.
They really aren't much to worry about, I think people think everyone is failing these. I dont know what the standards are but the vast majority pass as far as I know

In the coming months most of the check airmen will be leaving but will be replaced at the same time. Not sure why you're panties are in such a bunch over this. We are, however, behind in new hired pilot training.
That "guy" who told you that sounds like he was being dramatic or didn't know what he was talking about.
