not me dude, CFIT99 . . . and other guys I know that are getting no love. . . I've made my bed, and I understand why I'm not getting called. All is good, I've got a pretty good job anyway.

Well it came off pretty crappy knocking this guy. People bust sims, just like people make mistakes in airplanes. Flyboy must of impressed them to receive a second call, probably did well on the interview, and just a couple areas were botched. I'm sure he'll get it this time, and why shouldn't he? Patience...

not busting on Flyboy, heck if they call him back, it is not HIS fault. . . he is in the right time and place . . . I'm more busting the airline and industry as a whole.
Sorry flyboy, I'm sure it seemed like I was busting on you. Good luck dude!

I dont think you were, Jerrywhite. But clarifying and apologizing definitely shows your maturity.

Hey thanks guys. I know it's frustrating. I was not trying to brag. I was just really surprised they called me back.

I highly doubt stage checks during 141 training are even reported.

Hey, i just interviewed with Mesaba/Colgan today. It was a really great experience, people extremely friendly and create a relaxed environment. I was given the preliminary offer and did well in the sim, had two minor mistakes and was given the "thats all i need to see" answer after briefing the hold. Then was sent for drug test, does anyone know if they don't send people for drug test if they unsat your sim check? I can't imagine they would pay for the test if they knew they weren't going to hire you. The gouge is accurate follow that and be yourself, be honest they want to hire people they can sit next too for 4 days. Use Sheppard air for ATP written. I used it for a week and got a 95 on the test, which they liked in the interview. PM me if you have any questions, or if you recently interviewed. Good luck to everyone!

Do they require the written to be complete for an interview?

 

[MichaelC]

Do they require the written to be complete for an interview?

No. However, if given a job offer, the ATP written must be done before starting class.

 

[kbrono]

not a requirement, but a def. help. Plus the written they give is straight from the ATP study guides.

 

[ClarkGriswold]

No. However, if given a job offer, the ATP written must be done before starting class.

45 days after DOH
