I remember that. While I was taking that test I thought about the ridiculous tests the mercury astronauts were shown taking in the Right Stuff. No shiit, It took all my self control not to break out laughing in the middle of the test! I didn't laugh out loud, but sure must have looked like an idiot with a big stupid smile plastered all over my face.
I guess it must have relaxed me because I squeaked by.
Good luck to all new hires - flows, military, civilian, guys, gals, bring em all on!

if you can fire up the playstation and find the open recievers on NCAA football then the cog test is no problem. that's how my buddy explained it to me and he was right.

Compass had a former NWA pilot sit at the interviews.
He broke his back and was medically retired from NWA and has pain that is very hard to manage. I know and respect him, but stop telling people that having him Comp HR were able to give the same interviews as NWA did or Delta does.
"I understand it hurts", but a trip to psych eval in downtown ATL or a 20 min conversation with AK would probably cut many Compass guys.
Just my emotionless opinion.

This attitude of "I am good enough for Delta, but most of you are not" is so condescending. I am ex-NWA, 30 years at NWA/DAL, and ex-Navy. I was damned glad just to get hired ANYWHERE. At the time I was hired there wasn't much going on - USAir hiring only LPP's, Piedmont hiring limited numbers (wouldn't even send me an application), and Northwest Orient. That was IT. I had friends with top-notch resumes that couldn't even get an interview. I was LUCKY, as are most of us who are here at DAL (and any other "legacy" carrier.) Over my career I have worked with many great pilots and many who could be the poster child for failed pre-employment screening. Nobody is SPECIAL because they were hired at Delta (or any legacy for that matter.) They are all QUALIFIED, CONNECTED, and/or LUCKY, not necessarily in that order. Compass did not hire just anybody who submitted an application. NWA was very involved in the hiring process. I have no problem with the flow as it was set up, and I welcome those flow pilots. They have "paid their dues."
