Does anyone know if there is a way to update any flight hour information after you have already applied? Also, any tips/study guides on the online assessment?

Thanks.

I'm not sure if you can update your times. As far as the online assessment. You can't really study for it. It's more of a personality test with basic math questions.

So they dropped the mins on the website. Will they still require 300-500(can't remember) turbine pic to go to the job fairs? If you need a job fair to get hired, they can make the mins "no mins". Won't matter. Still need CA time.

The 500 TPIC job fair requirement is no longer required.

Getting it for personal reasons or to get out of "Espirit Wings" and get on with an airline that actually pays its pilots?

I don't think so ManFlex, because I'm 6300TT with 3000 hrs in A320 as F/O, and I have not heard anithing from the airlines that I applied like Spirit, JB, Allegiant, and more... I went to the JobFair and nothing as well, I will be happy to get a TBNT letter from them, because to be sitting waiting for a call from them is killing me slowly. They should be polite and start to think how much time and effort everybody are making to attend to the Job Fair and send at least a letter thanking your participation in the JobFair and not leave without waiting for an answer, they are not friendly... Is just a simple comment
