Such as:
I've listed my family how can they look at it themselves and choose without me?

Are the above considered buddy or yield?
Any good advice would be great, I'm confused on it all. Thanks

Rule #1, don't send even your worst enemy through Atlanta because they won't ever get out. Learn what flight loads look good then teach them or they will call you every 5 minutes asking what they should do. Avoid hub to hub for the most part (atl-msp, lax-msp, ect) because they can fill up quick with hk's/non revs. They must roll with the flow because it's easy for plans to get screwed up. Don't ever leave a gate until the flight pushes off the gate and takes off.

I'll be flying up to MSP on Monday for a Tuesday interview. My study has gone pretty well and I believe I am ready, anyone have any last minute suggestions of things you wish you had known going in? Either way, thank you for making this a thread worth following.

Well, hopefully its not a Mesa interview; I would like to feel like I actually earned the job if I get an offer.

Thanks for the replies.

Thanks for the replies.

Multiple choice job knowledge test, swept wing aerodynamics etc, then a panel/board interview with an HR rep and a couple of line pilots.

You will. Yeah, the experience level of interviewees has subsided, but they still aren't hiring complete knuckleheads.

It allows them to interview and hand out CJO's at Universities and job fairs instead of dragging the applicants out to MSP for two days. It sounds like they just took the computer knowledge test and turned it into a 50 question paper test. I imagine the cognitive and personality test is no longer given.
