Lol, wut? I think it's awesome you speak on behalf of the hiring board, but are you really willing to testify to every SSP interview so far? The guys goingthrough the process told me there are different interview rooms with different people. I haven't gone through the SSP but I've been told the testing is a set standard but the panel is little more from the hip, and you are selling yourself.

Conspiracy is a strong word, but the dates line up even if you don't like it. If you think that data set is meaningless that's fine, I choose to see the cliff drop for something else.

As for taking a step back, I'm afraid I don't know what the issue is. If you need everyone to be in lockstep that the SSP is completely fair, I'm afraid this is the internet. Sorry.

Doesn't matter to me, I don't get the SSP, I just get the soul crushed returned to senders :) . Pretty awesome.

There are always two rooms with two groups of 2 pilots and 1 HR. You are split up at random to go do either the testing first or the HR first. 2 HR interviews occur at a time, one in each room. Everyone goes through that when they interview...It's been done that way for almost 20 years. The panel interview is where you sell yourself as a comfortable and competent aircraft commander and someone you'd enjoy to fly with. Each individual person on the panel gives a score for each portion like education, problem solving, building a team and open to input, and so on.

Take a look at AR's angry rant on airlinkpilots when he got turned down (and asked to never apply again)... Given his comments, he obviously completely missed the point of the gouge and the point of the interview. Granted, most people I know realize he's a complete toolbag about 30 seconds after they meet him. Thankfully, the interview process worked and kicked him back.

Here's the history behind that:

There used to be split domestic only and international only categories.

764 was the 767-400 domestic and 767 was the 767/757 domestic.

765 was the 767-400 international and 7ER was the 767/757 international category (named that since it was mostly flying the 767-300ER models).

The 764 category was blended into the 765 category when the 400's were redeployed to almost all oceanic ops, and the domestic category was just folded into the 7ER category as domestic ops increased while international saw a decrease.

The names 767 and 765 are contractually defined as a "domestic" category cannot go below 3 degrees south of the equator or do an ocean crossing or augmented ops. International categories can go everywhere and as such that is why the categories were folded into the international names.

The more you know!

@Seggy knows, he's just making a funny.

The part I seem to always have problems with is that the "400" meant 767-400 in DeltaEsque, but meant 747-400 in Northwestian.

As @Derg said, I know....

It is just funny because even though I have asked 'what is a 7ER' about a dozen times on here, one of y'all Submarine Commanders ALWAYS responds.

Ahh!

I guess I really better start paying attention to what people are yammering about sometimes!

Nod > "uh huh" > Esquire Mag > nod > "uh huh" > Esquire Mag (repeat) "Oh, we'd better wake up Sparky. When he comes back, are you going to go out and pee? I'd better have the purser put my meal on" :)

I really need to get on the oceanic thing you guys have. All i get is angry birds and a spit on meal for caribbean turns. Kudos to the blackbird and the orange blow-up bird. They own.

Actually, that's not how they did it when I interviewed in 2001. Everyone did the computer testing in the morning and then HR interviews in the afternoon. There was 3-4 interview rooms. One HR and one pilot per room. 20 people started on day one, 10 made it to day two, and 7 got hired.
