Well I got my conditional offer. I did find out, average engineer pay works out to around 70-80K a year, and some get above 100K a year. It's boring, but they have tuition reimbursement so I can get my masters online and they pay for it. I figure it will be boring as hell, but right now I'm working my butt off to make below poverty. So, I got myself into debt, I need to work to get myself out. I already tried peddling out to UAS operators, schools, and the air force for my entire life. No one bite the bullet, so now I'm going into trains.
As far as the test and interview, the information is available online and in the links I posted. I can't talk about my process as they asked me not to. I will say this, if you can fly a plane, any plane, less than 60 hp even, fine... You can pass the test and interview. QOL is a lot like the airline, especially when it comes to the "extra board" and reserve.
Oh, and for interviews, always over dress, never under dress. There were people interviewing in hunting hats and dirty t-shirts. 3 of us wore a shirt and tie. I know 2 of us got the job that wore that, and I have no idea who the other guy was, but I'm sure I'll see him come training. 35 people showed up, 10 left immediately, 5 failed the test. 20 left for 12 spots, not bad.
