Doing so would, no doubt, put you on a rubber room. Not a good career move.

I Posted this on another forum but hope to gain some good insight from this thread!
It appears that DAL will begin to interview in Q4 2013 or Q1 2014 I’m looking for NEW information about the hiring process. I’ve reviewed the old “Will Fly for Food” (WFFF) and APC info but does anyone have insight into what the new process may be? Specifically: Cognitive Test: Will the cognitive tests be the same and is Luminosity.com the still a good way to prepare? Are there other web sites or even smart phone applications that are good? Technical Test: For the Technical Review Exam is the ATP test prep still a good way to study? The previous Pilot Job Knowledge Test Outline centers on four areas: Aerodynamics, Engineering, Air Navigation and Metrology. Will these be the areas of concentration for the next cycle or could it change? Who has the best coaching/preparation for the interview? I understand that Adam Hughes is highly recommended; are there others? Interview: The WFFF interview narratives seem to focus on logbook review, personal history, “tell about a time” type questions and possible “what if conflict” scenarios. Most of the conflict scenarios center on three possibilities. 1. Captain operates outside of standards or procedures. 2. Captain pushes safety envelope. (i.e. proceeds below MDA to get in, or pushes fuel requirements to make commute.) 3. Incidents were CA for FAs smell of alcohol or appear drunk It’s obvious what I would do in each in real life but I’m wonder what the “School House” solution is. Also “what is your leadership style” questions are asked and what are the interviews looking for? Has anyone have any input into the best interview prep? Personal: And for me personally; I’m getting to the age where my eyesight is still 20/20 but I’m becoming near sighted. I’ve can get by without “cheaters” (cheap magnifying eye glasses) but it’s far easier to use them when reading small print. I’ve been to eye doctors and they say I’m still 20/20: will using “cheaters” be an issue during the interview? (Silly I know but you only get one shot at this and best to be prepared.) I’m also getting older (47): will this be an issue for getting an interview? I hope we can keep this a useful dialog (i.e. “on topic”) on the interview process and pass along the best practices that have gotten guys the job! Thanks in advance! MARTY!!

All the good stuff about hiring is buried in the first 10000 posts of this thread. Serious. The info was invaluable. The rest of the posts are just fluff.

Too soon? Folks, don't click unless your skin is tougher than a retread on a 737 doing a no flap takeoff from SLC at MTOW, you were warned: Never mind ... I'll get banned from APC ... if you must, search "Youtube, Taiwanese Animation, Asiana, KTVU The crew dancing on the airplane Gangham Style is gif worthy... |

We clearly have different agendas. You have enjoyed an extra 5 years on the top of the scale, and are happy with any contract that doesn't reduce your take-home pay. Having gone through a lot of ups and downs in your career, you may be thankful for this period of relative stability as you coast out, and don't want to rock the boat. And you've earned that.
I have a much different perspective and much different goals. I value time off more than a great hourly rate. And now we have neither. We gave away far too much in C2012 based on the company's profitability and needs. ALPA is not looking out for me or my peers. As I said, we have vastly differing agendas. I apologize for calling you "arrogant." are close to the top of the US airline industry and the only ones better might be SW but SWAPA has used constructive engagement for almost 40 years so maybe burn the house down isn't a good approach. Your apology is accepted. |
