AFAIK, everyone that interviewed during my week Dec 5-9, had to wait at least 10 days to hear back. Being that you interviewed then and you dont think there were any problems with the interview itself, you probably got lost somewhere (not you, your paperwork). Might be too late as I know they are interviewing for the Feb class this week. Only thing I could think of is you were at the bottom of the stack (only because you were the last to interview) and probably filled all Jan slots by the time they got to your name. Just my guess. Keep trying.

They don't give rejection emails or letters afaik. I think almost everyone of us was told after everything was done that "we'll see you in class." What did you get on the written test?

Is there any score for the written? And it's hard?

Thanks.

I don't think there is a passing score but why someone posted they said the average was in the 70's.

It took them over 4 weeks to let me know, so just because they didn't tell you anything after the interview doesn't really mean anything. I know it sucks sitting around waiting and it's allot of anxiety but just hang in there man, more than likely than Jan class had already been filled when they interviewed you and I'll bet dollars for doughnuts you will get a call in the next week or 2 for the Feb class.

As far as the hold, do they want a lap around? Setting timers and all or do you just give the entry? Is it acceptable to make the evaluator do everything for you? ie. "center needle with a too indication," set course this, set bug that?

You guys are making this harder than it has to be! When flying an airplane in 121 without the autopilot the Pilot monitoring does most of the work so you can focus on flying the aircraft. During the interview I am sure you will exchange the controls with the PM while copying holding instructions (they want to see that you can figure out the entry) and if this is not the case then they will copy it for you and help you with the entry since you are focusing on flying the aircraft. They PM will perform checklist, set altitudes, heading bug and courses as long as you call for them. The PM will do everything but fly the airplane for you...

The sim is a simple HSI. Just use a basic 6 pack scan. Its like flying a 172 with more power. Yes, they are evaluating your CRM skills, so use the other guy to your advantage, but if you cant fly a simple hold entry by putting the courses in he HSI yourself, well....good luck...

SADLY mistaken my friend anyone can fly a 172 but a 1900 takes something it is one of very few airplanes you actually have to fly. It has a ton of power and the 6 pack ain't your daddy's six pack!
