The written was pretty simple. Personally I dont think it warrants buying any pricey books. It is common use stuff that deals with instrument procedures and what not.
I was instructing back then and as CFII and MEI it was for the most part stuff I taught students on a reg basis. If you are a 135 pilot or something like that a lot of the stuff the written covers may have slipped out of your mind.
Just my 2 cents.

Did the XJT internship, passed the EMB-145 ground school, have management recs, chief pilot recs, and line pilot recs. No call yet.
A kid from my flight school has 300 less hours than me, and never went though a ground school. He did intern for ASA though. Has known about his class date for some time now.
Looks like I picked the wrong company to intern at
To those that have interview dates, when are they? I'd like to know when I can put a fork in my chances

Thanks for the great advice. Through a Delta internship I knew an intern at ASA at the time, who just got through training and walked my stuff in. ASA called. Interview is the 21st.
The only thing that really worries me is the 121 questions in the writtten and/or technical side of things. Short of studying an ATP test prep or the interview prep, and just going through the FARs, does anyone have a recommendation of finding some of the basic 121 type questions (take off alternate minimums, oxygen requirements, etc...)?

Flat out, just know the ' clean aircraft ' concept and you will be fine on the ATP written sample, I was thrown that as a sample at the last minute back in 07 and i got a 100 because i spent the majority of my time making sure I knew weather to it's fullest extent....best of luck

Exactly! Many of you will take this the wrong way, and so be it, but if you need to do major studying and "gouges" (whatever that is) to take an airline interview test with questions from the ATP written, then I'm sorry, but you're not ready for prime time!
When you end up in the right seat of a jet, you are not there to learn how to fly, you are there to assist the Captain and learn to be a Captain someday. You should already know how to fly and possess all of the required information. If you use the "gouges" and fake your way through the interview, you will be in for a rude awakening when you get to the line!
I'm not trying to be mean, I'm stating a fact. Captains are happy to help you learn the airline system, but it you don't know the basics we have little patience.
