Mesaba interview written test

[Turtlesfly]

I disagree!

I'm now flying for the regional, but when I was in going through the interview process, I needed the gouge just like this chap.

Needing help with testing info has nothing to do with someone’s ability to learn and flight skills.

If you're so terribly misinformed and have nothing to give but sarcasm, I suggest you don't post anything at all!

Testing has no relation to flight skills? If you can't explain when to leave DH or what speed limits are or when you time out from duty, then if that doesn't affect flight skills I don't know what does.

When I was hired, on the written there was some question about Type 4 deice fluid.

What CFI knows about Type 4?

I'm kinda glad I didn't have a gouge for that. I was worried that it was some sort of flag if you got that question right.

If you can't hack it, you'll get weeded out in indoc and systems.

The current state of applicants for the regionals reminds me of a repeat character on the TV show Wings name Kenny. He was still in high school, still lived at home, and still worked a second job at the local drive thru. All this while maintaining a great attitude. Brian even dated his mom if I remember correctly! Makes me real nervous to fly on a regional these days.

Are we having tough time reading my post?

‘Needing info about test’ is what I said.

Something what you did exactly when you upgraded to CA, didn’t you? You know…going around the training center, trying to find info about the written test, etc. Are you telling me you NEVER asked your fellow pilots - who had upgraded or went through the ‘oral’ and ‘sim test’ - about what they did and what was asked?

To summarize, we’re not discussing the importance of ‘testing’, but information about testing.

Don't look now, but, your ignorance is showing!

The written test is being re-written as we speak anyway so don't stress out too much over it. Know the AIM, Part 91, and Jeppesen charts and you'll do fine.

Cheers

DC-9-30 Sim guy...don't remember your handle...but, really, lose that part of your profile...I've done OE for lots of you guys over the years, and believe me, this is a "red flag"...you need to remember if you get this job that you are no longer in a small pond...there are 1000 other guys and girls who are doing the same thing you're doing, in many cases doing it better, and have been doing it longer...last on the list at a regional is no place to be walking about boasting or prideful...if you do get thru training and me or someone like me, you'll need to keep a low profile for a while! Just some friendly advice...don't reply to this with attitude...you don't wanna go down that road.

Oh, and the test is a piece of cake!

Was in the training center all last week. Some of the new hires looked like they were to young to have a drivers license. But after talking to the instructors and talking to a bunch of them myself it would seem they are a bunch of great individuals.

If you see them say welcome aboard!
