I’ve heard the opposite, in fact of the 3 pilots I know who have taken the assessment all have passed (2 mil, 1 civ).
My guess is they’re not willing to lower that standard as long as people are successfully passing. Nor should they…it’s way too early in the game to be doing that with how many pilots are going to be hired in the next several years. No point in lowering standards for the tip of the spear of pilot hiring. |

I guess the people I know must be idiots or something. I know 4, and they are 50/50 pass fail.
3/5 I know passed. The other two got the 6 month reapply. |
any input on the in person interview portion?

It looks like Hilton is right across the street and the easiest place to stay. When are you interviewing?

Anyone else still waiting to hear back after taking the assessment? Took mine last week, haven't heard a thing.

Once you get the initial email, you have 7 days to complete the assessment.
Do know Delta likes metrics and on time arrivals. Early is better. I’d get it done one day one, if at all possible. |

One "retest in 6 months" is nothing compared to the history of the industry. That doesn't mean anyone is "tip of the spear" just that a company has a test they expect you to figure out whats on it and study for it so they can measure one's motivation. Sure some can roll out of bed in the morning after a bender and ace it. Most will need to study specifically for it though. Look at the company "gouge" for the old test screening; it was tens of thousands of pages of recommended "study material" basically encapsulating the entirety of pilot knowledge. Its like your spouse saying "if I have to tell you then nevermind". Don't take it personally, just dig in and try again in 6 months. |

Despite HR folks telling them how its their interview to lose, the pass rate that day was around a quarter.

Just throwing out info for those curious, as I have many friends applying right now. A couple of them didn’t make it, and I basically told them the same. A six month reapply is nothing in the grand scheme of a career. |
