When I went through, which was at the beginning of the program. It consisted of a video interview followed by an in person HR interview and compass test. There’s not a whole lot of prep that can be done for the compass test. I paid $75 for a course and almost none of it was on the test. Have them practice their math skills (long division, simple algebra) also will want to know basic aerodynamics.

The negotiations committee knew about LIFT during the LOA negotiations, they were under an NDA. They didn’t get hoodwinked at all.

I am aware that they knew and signed an NDA. By hoodwinked I mean that by either the company holding back key information or through shear incompetence the union did not realize the leverage we had.
If they did we could have had Endeavor or better rates. Instead now that the company has its crown jewel we have almost zero leverage for the next round of negotiations. If you worked here you would know that Lift has left a sour taste in the pilot group.

The company is however reserving 50 percent of all new hire classes to Lift candidates as this was agreed to by the union.
