Such a nice family man. Good conservative values and all that.

As far as the Hogan goes for those who may take it. From what I was told and the research I did explained it's best to wait a day or two after receiving the email , let the nerves calm down if they spike a bit . Take the exam with nowhere to be , no rush . You don't want to spend hours on it but don't want to be rushed to get it done. When you read a question read it slowly , you ll have your gut answer in 1.5 seconds . 99 percent of the time that's the correct answer . Many guys reread it and OVERTHINK the question and end up not passing . Read the question again , make sure your gut and first answer sounds logical to you and how you act in life and submit it and move on to the next question.

From the few buddies I had that didn't pass nearly all of them put too much thought into it , including some of them with their wives or parents helping them with answers . All great people but figured that their spouses of parents would have a sound effect/answer For the question , sadly all of them failed .

Don't rush , read all the questions twice and submit your initial answer if it really makes sense to you. You start second guessing your self it's over . Don't try to beat the questions it's not that type of test .

Good luck to all who get the chance .

After every questions put "at work" and you will be fine.

Do you sometimes get frustrated with people (at work)? NO

Do you ever delay accomplishing tasks (at work)? NO

Easy as pie after you add "at work"

I think you are supposed to add "in bed" after each question.

Friend got the Hogan yesterday. As I told him being consistent is the key when you answer.

This is bad advice. It would be very rare to never get frustrated with people or delay a task. Answer the questions honestly. Although, I would always answer yes to the ones about your parents loving you!!!!

Yeah, when they weren't stubbing cigarettes out on my arm, I think that, deep down inside, they really did love me.

I got hired at United, I currently work at SWA and am just waiting on my class at United...so far the Pros and Cons I have come up with are this:

1. Line Select vs PBS
2. SWA has better Vacation
3. United provides crew meals, parking, uniforms, dry cleaning
4. (I am a commuter) Long call reserve at United vs perpetual 2 hour shortcall at SWA
5. Better hotels at United
6. more minimum days off at SWA, but you work more hours during your workdays at SWA.

Pay rates are about the same on the 737, but no wide body so essentially you are capped...plus I am looking at about 10-14 year upgrade...

This is a much more difficult decision than I thought. If anybody has made the jump please message me.
