I just guessed all the calculation question, and focused on the other types of questions, I got a 89% on it, not the best but better than busting my ass to learn all of those calculations to get a 93% whats it matter really? Best advice I can give is spend the 80 bucks or whatever get the KING ATP 121 prep spend two days just on the thing non-stop and go take the test, it wasnt bad at all, after seeing the questions you will know the answer on the real test from just reading the groups of answers..........good luck

That is true if you want to get 90% or better. All they want to see is that you have passed the exam; 70% anybody?
Also the idea of requiring you to have your ATP done before starting is so that they don't have to pay for it when you're ready to upgrade. You're just saving them few bucks. Got the idea?

Airlineapps says comair does not require an ATP written, I have to agree with whoever on here posted, that the regionals are lower their requirements not tightening up on them. I know several people flying the line without it.....They do want it before upgrade JUST so they dont have to pay for it.... This was told me by one of the recruiters ( a Captain) AT our interview..... Also when we were about 2 weeks into class they told us to bring all of our certificates and medicals, when we asked if to bring the writtens they laughed and were like KEEP THAT IN A SAFE PLACE TIL YOU UPGRADE........ your decision though

I'd suggest taking the test. I was hit heavy on 121 stuff in my interview. I had about a week and a half to prep for taking it. Just used the Gleim test prep software...took the real thing after I could get an 85% or better 3 times in a row. Got an 88% on it. That was guessing at the complex calcs and doing only a few of the more simple ones. Whether or not you need it is another story. Some in my class have it, some don't. I'm glad I have it out of the way now - one for the tech portion of the interview and two for just not having to do it later on. I have a few friends trying to find time to study for it now, inbetween flying and life, so they can upgrade. Good Luck!

POAK,
You have to believe me because I have been to Comair. You are correct they will not make copy of your ATP; however they still want you take it before attending class. The idea SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR IT was said to us during the week of basic Indocs, by one the chief pilot who can to visit the class, unless things have changed. Who knows.

What is the deal w/ COMAIR???? I ve heard they raised mins from 600TT 100 ME to 1200 TT 200ME again???Or is that erroneous???? I was jsut in ATL for the job fair 2 weeks ago and they were "desperate for pilots" ....they seemed interested in me even w 450TT 102 ME becasue I had 2 internal recs....are they at a standstill w hiring now with the news from last week or are they still hring w the same mins they were at for the past 2 mo.???? thanks in adavance for the info!!
