[QUOTE=K4ALPA;2666604]In case it was missed amongst the conversation, there is an updated FAQ on page 40. There will be a new one at the beginning of each month.[/QUOT
This is great news. I hope the "what to wear" portion of the gouge is updated. I just heard from a couple of dudes that a recent interviewee tried to deviate from the dress code and wore a "Members Only" jacket- I know, right? They've been out of style for like five or six years at least.
I also heard, I can't tell you who told me and it definitely was a big bro on floor two, that a candidate crashed the test bank computer three times on day one. Needless to say he was not seen in the HI Express lobby at the pancake maker the next morning.
Oh yeah, a lot of candidates don't know that there's greek style yogurt in the cooler at the HI Express. It's in a smaller container and gets shove to the back sometimes. Bon Apetit.

All the positions CA and FO will have to be put out for bid - there is no provision for an initial cadre in the cba - they will have to choose checkairmen from whoever holds the bid.

However only persons who were previously qualified on the new A/C type can be used for the initial cadre (bypassing a bid) - just flew with a new guy from SA he flew the triple - we may have a few ex-Emirates guy as well
other than those guys it would have to be bid

I got a tingly feeling when I realized how sincere and earnest you must be and decided to give a few more insider type hints to make your upcoming interview a success.
1) Most of the bro's are wearing a blue suit and red tie to the interview. You shouldn't because the panel board is going to know from your resume that that's your Delta interview suit. Once they meet you they'll know that if you decide to drop an app at Delta you'll get snapped up quicker than a lady boy picks up a tip in Mong Kok. I'd go with a pair of chino's, boat shoes, and a Greg Norman polo in a pastel. If you have one that has a visible seam misalignment they'll know you got it at the Lady's Market in Stanley. If it's cool outside see if you can find one of the old cloth "team" jackets. if it has a grease stain from a samosa and maybe a little tattered at the collar you'll definitely look like an old school bro.
2) If you can get a chance by all means open your wallet so that they can see you've got an Octopus card prominently displayed. If you can work the Octopus card into the scene mention how much the red cab fares have increased recently. They'll know your the type of guy that MTR's to Wan Chai but parties so hard you'll need a cab to get you back to the hotel.
3) I know you've been cramming "Ace the Technical Interview", everyone does. But. the most difficult question will be taped underneath the right elevator of the DC-8 model in the entrance to building two. Bring a mirror so you can have a peak before the interview. Three of the more obscure questions asked recently were:
a) What is the maximum holding speed below 14,000 in the Cyprus FIR?
b) What are the AMVR HF frequencies?
c) What items must be included in first contact with SFO radio when operating in Oakland Oceanic Airspace?
I already mentioned not to eat the Turkish delight in the upstairs break room. I forgot to mention the down stairs break room. Definitely don't be tempted to finish the jig saw puzzle. I'm pretty sure you could do it in a pretty short time. That's the HR staffs puzzle. Don't eat the Strawberry Shortcake ice cream bar form the vending machine. It's a staff favorite and supplies are limited. Eat all the Cream-sickle you want. If you need to get in a short work-out feel free to use the treadmill downstairs, just be sure to sign up for it.
If you can casually mention that the best schnitzel you ever eaten was at the "Underwear" bar then you've got a lock on it.
Best of luck. If you have anymore questions start another thread and someone will be sure to answer. I can hardly wait to get to know you better once you are on the line. OE will seem like a dream for the Instructor Pilot I'm sure and we'll all know who you are before meeting you. Good news travel fast. Anyway the first 20 or 30 beers at Tequila Jacks are on me.
