I interviewed last year in early February, they made us do both the sim eval and the cognitive test, on top of that Delta test.

Its true. I was the very last person to interview in the CRJ sim. Everyone after me (literally, I was the last), was going into the 737 at Delta.

As if February they did not require a sim eval.

I interviewed mid march last year and had no sim ride. Computer testing all morning, lunch, company brief, 1 on 1 interview in the afternoon followed by the drug testing, done by 5.

Sounds like the process is becoming more and more like the Delta interview process.

Unfortunately, that means nothing for us.

Denied open time swaps for insufficient reserve coverage. So I decided to pop a call into scheduling for the hell of it, and they said "we need __ amount of people that day but we don't have that."

My reply was "So what you're telling me, is that we're understaffed?"

And they say "nope, I'm not saying that."

So what is it? If we don't have the required reserve levels, then we must have extra pilots...?

Sounds like the same story at Eagle. I am sure the folks at other would chime in with similar stories.

I agree, but its just funny because I'm swapping the same amount of days on the same days. So I'm trying to swap say a 2 day trip on the 3rd-4th for another 2 day trip on the 3rd-4th, but they don't have the coverage to cover it.
