I mean if you are going to get a copy of the test, at least take the original with you when you are done.

If you aren't cheating, you aren't trying
If you aren't cheating, you are only cheating yourself

Wow..I'm amazed that this kind of thing occurs. I have NEVER heard of people having copies of tests before PC's or Systems tests.

As for the rat...come on....this guy should be taken out back and beat with a sock filled with D-Cell batteries!

I was thinking a car battery attached to a Ford F150.

Similar thing happened in indoc. I didn't find out about it until sim. One of the guys said 'oh , yeah. we had the copy of the indoc tests'.
Needless to say that guy got eliminated through natural ways.. (barely passed the oral, couldn't perform in sim)..

For all those cheating people who got hired in airlines, there are a lot more than you who got there by working and studying their asses off; and there are a lot more who would like to take your place..

You are all complaining for nothing. The guy who told about the cheating was later fired anyway.

The narc sounds like someone we had in my new hire class, 'cept he got a copy of the systems test held onto it himself and still managed to get a 72%.

Alls well that ends well, I do feel bad for those guys though...not a good time to be losing a job.

What would you tell the parents of a little girl who was killed in a plane crash because an incompetant pilot (and unethical to boot) cheated his way into the cockpit of the aircraft carrying her and you knew about it ?

What a f%$ked up business this has become..........it's now apparently littered with unqualified kids who need to cheat their way into an airline cockpit and just as pathetic, others who cant see the seriousness of what they attempted to do and would happily look the other way.

Unbelievable..........and truly disturbing.
Yeah and I'm sure you never used the gleim? Having a copy of the test is how we were trained pretty much from the start. Who cares?

If you dont know your stuff you'll get eaten up in the oral. Who cares about written tests.

Clearly you missed the point entirely. You come across like a cheater yourself, rationalizing the misdeeds of others because you know the road oh so well....................you'll go far.

If you aren't cheating, you aren't trying
If you aren't cheating, you are only cheating yourself
And if you get caught cheating, you aren't trying hard enough.

Heard it a million times.... I don't think this should be classified as cheating though.... just using all available resources to ensure that you pass ground school.
