Just find it interesting it was shut down and am thinking it didn't go away on its own. Personally, if I was in charge of the product I was sending to training and eventually getting in the DAL cockpit I would have done what I could to ensure the first time they saw the test was when it was on company property.

But I do miss the updates on X out of 8 made the cut.

Why, guys were cheating the system, and it probably showed up in the DAL testing. These suckers are impressive. They can tell an airline a great many things about persons background, ability etc. For guys to cheat that, it probably has caused problems.

Since we didn't have to sign a nondisclosure agreement, I would have no problems in discussing the COG test with anyone.

If you are former military (perhaps USAF), the COG test is very similar to the BAT test.

The night before I interviewed, I did an Airline Inc. Delta prep. I did this because it was my first airline interview and I was nervous as hell. The session took probably no more than 2 hours. We did a quick Q and A and the instructor showed me examples of the COG test.

Even though there were differences in what was actually given to me on test day, I felt so much more relaxed. And ACL, I couldn't agree with you more. I went into the interview with the same attitude. I could only do my best and if I wasn't what DAL was looking for, then I certainly wouldn't want to be there.

While I agree that the cog prep might be a bit much, the interview prep for the hr portion is well worth it. For most, this is the biggest interview of their life and to not do everything in your power to prepare for it seems naive. Not saying you are but that those that want to do prep shouldn't shy away because they think Big D would frown upon it. They actually expected interviewees to read all the gouge online the last time around. You still are who you are, you can just present it to a panel of three better. Nothing wrong with that in my eyes. It also shows how much you want the job as well. And if it gives you more confidence and gets you hired then it will be the best return on your investment you'll ever spend!!

We don't have to squeeze the contract appears fairly clear we just have to ensure compliance. :cool:

Reducing the allowed 76 seaters from 150 to 85 including eliminating the 36 overweight Compass aircraft could actually be some decent furlough protection.

I hate that list, I showed 4 days of availability with a raw of zero but finished a long 5 day on the 30th. 30 in 7 makes me almost unusable for the first 2 days of the month. That list is almost not worth looking at unless you look up everyone on the list to see where they all stand.

You better communicate that to your rep.
The MEC could also "ensure compliance" by signing a new LOA continuing the flow-through and thereby letting DCI keep all the 76 seaters.
Moak has a history of letting management off the hook on scope.

ACL has already dropped a hint that they might do that. They're gonna say it was to continue the flow-down "job protection" for mainline pilots.



Up is down. Black is white. More RJs are good for mainline pilots.

SLOT SWAP DEAD FOR NOW

News for 'DAL' - (=DJ Delta, US Airways Drop Planned Asset Swap, Seek Review)

By Doug Cameron

Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES


Delta Air Lines Inc. (DAL) and US Airways Group Inc. (LCC) on Friday said they would drop a planned asset swap at two of the country's busiest airports following a demand by regulators that they surrender some takeoff and landing slots to rivals.

The airlines said they would seek a judicial review of the requirement from regulators that they surrender slots at New York LaGuardia and Reagan National in Washington, D.C., through a blind auction.

The airlines said in a letter to the Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration that they would proceed with the deal if the conditions were dropped.

The plan first announced last summer would have beefed up Delta's position at LaGuardia amid intensifying competition in the New York market. U.S. Airways aimed to improve its competitive position in Washington and secure rights to fly from the U.S. to Brazil.

Delta and US Airways had sought to counter simmering opposition to the plan -- mainly from Southwest Airlines Co. (LUV) -- by offering to transfer some slots to JetBlue Airways Corp. (JBLU), AirTran Holdings Inc. (AAI), Spirit Airlines Inc. and Canada's WestJet Airlines Ltd. (WJA.T, WJAFF).

Hoserpilot beat me...

It's worthless. I don't even know why they put it up. I griped to the union about it in my online survey......along with a lot of other problems with our reserve system.
