This is a major so the standard is that you would know how to read a TAF in its entirety. If you don’t know one (maybe you don’t fly where there’s snow), no big deal. Say so and move on. But knowing a large majority of it is the standard.

Also, the website, would include whatever specific question they got so don’t give up just yet. The plates I had to know where mentioned on the website too.

I often wonder if some of these posters are even actual pilot candidates versus some bored weirdo trolling an airline forum

cool thanks bud. I did take a look a the questions in the website in more detail. I'll keep studying them.

Good luck!

I was chatting with a senior CKA yesterday. I made a snide remark about the level of experience of our new hires. He had a completely different attitude and said "These guys are really studying their @sses off, it's really impressive, good to see".

So, I've changed my attitude. Gave my phone number to a brand new guy I met in the terminal, and told him to call me if he thinks I can help out with anything.

Bet he’d remember that for the rest of his career. Small acts of kindness like that goes a long way

Very cool of you to admit you changed your mind on that, and then did something kind.

Bravo, sir.

Here is a note for the new guys and this being their first airline/flying job: tip the drivers. And a $1 tip is not enough for the long stay rides. Doesn’t matter if you’re against tipping culture, this isn’t the coffee girl at Starbucks, pilots tip drivers.

Yup. filler

Not to discredit you or anything, but you can teach a monkey to fly the airbus. It isn't rocket science. Fact of the matter is, if you come from a highly manual plane like the CRJ out of IOE, you will have absolutely no problem in the bus, and in fact you will be a better pilot than people who had the bus as their first plane.

And, if you came from a crappy training department like PSA where they fail you for any and everything, you will again, have 0 issues transitioning on the Bus.

People in Europe (and literally anywhere else outside of the USA) fly this thing with only 250 hours under their belt in a cessna. It's a very pilot-friendly plane.
