From: left seat CRJ (again!)
Read thru the PSA thread and maybe I missed discussion on trips & how far is too far to commute to CLT, but...
I am a military (100% ME turbine) pilot looking to the regionals to build up additional time and Part 121 experience - I currently am 2 hours from CLT by car. No other domiciles are close by except RDU for GoJets (about 1 hr drive), but it sounds like I should stay away from them.
I have a friend in CLT I can use his futon for Reserve, but the 2 hour drive only works if I can do trips.
For guys based in CLT holding a line is there a wide variety of schedules (O+B, 2-day, 3-day, 4-day)?
Thanks.

Are you two hours away from CLT in non-rush hour traffic? If that's the case, I can understand the concern. If you are considering GoJet and PSA, I'd take PSA.
BTW, retired Army, ground pounder.

What a stupid question to put on that test. Especially if they're sending people home if they miss one too many.

"Some receivers have the additional ability to isolate the corrupt satellite and continue reliable operation with the remaining satellites. This requires an additional satellite beyond what is required to identify a RAIM error, a total of six."

Based on the fact that they have been taking in 70 pilots a month with 100% of the gouge posted online and are in desperate need of more, I am pretty sure changing the test was most likely not their choice, as that change/decision may have come from the mothership.

Ok, I think I may have found the answer thanks to the answer options you provided...I pulled up the old trusty Jepp Instrument/Commercial textbook and here's what it says:
"Some receivers have the additional ability to isolate the corrupt satellite and continue reliable operation with the remaining satellites. This requires an additional satellite beyond what is required to identify a RAIM error, a total of six."
"Some receivers have the additional ability to isolate the corrupt satellite and continue reliable operation with the remaining satellites. This requires an additional satellite beyond what is required to identify a RAIM error, a total of six."
3 satellites will give you a 2D fix in space (triangulation)
4 satellites will give you a 3D fix in space
5 satellites is the minimum required for RAIM. If one satellite starts giving a signal error or integrity is in question, the receiver can only say that one signal is bad and will not enter APP mode or will remove all GPS navigational information from an HSI
6 satellites can replace a bad signal allowing you to continue an approach without losing signal integrity.
