Has anyone passed the cog tests with zero prep? Is it possible to just go in, follow the directions, and wing it?

That's how the tests are designed to be taken; yes.

How about the knowledge test? Possible to pass without reading all of the textbook sized books they suggest? I know about RST, but honestly don't want to spend the money. I have some gouge from an interview prep company that I have already paid for. Planning on just looking that over the week of and giving it a whirl.

You decided to take the interview now? With your job already you have nothing to lose. If it's not an absolute must to jump over I'd do what you are saying....if you feel you absolutely need to make the jump I'd spring for the rst job test gouge. The cog tests are pretty much the same as a post deployment mental health test

The purpose of the JKT is to test weather a pilot can look at the topics supplied to the applicant before the interview, study those topics, and be tested on them in a relatively short period of time.

So, it does assume that you are going to study...but it also assumes that you're not going to know it all, thus the relatively low "passing" score (not really public knowledge, but there are lots of numbers in the 50%-70% range thrown around).

Honestly, I don't know why anyone would have the opportunity of a Delta interview, and then only half-assed the preparation for it. Even if they all ready worked for another legacy (or SWA), if there was the opportunity to have another job offer, it would be worth it to put some effort into getting the CJO.

Having choices like that to make is a great professional place to be.

Ohhhh hot shot RJCapt. Well let's take a brief stroll down history lane here and we will see what airlines you do qualify for!

Continental #1883 (October 2006) - landed on taxiway at KEWR. (Not United material)
Alaska #27 (Dec 2015) - landed on taxiway at KSEA (not Alaska material)
SWA#4013 (Jan 2015) - landed at wrong airport (not Southwest material)
Delta #2845 (July 2016) - landed at wrong airport (surely not Delta material)
American #1763 (Mar 2003) - lands on taxiway at KSEA (not American material)
Atlas........

All of this was found within 5 mins via Google. Point being, based on your childish remarks you don't even qualify to be in the industry. And if you don't think that any one of these mistakes cant happen to you, then we don't want you at Delta Air Lines....or really any other standup Airline for that matter!

Thanks for making this my first post!
