A quick end to your regional career.

You have got to be kidding me! Who cares if you have the test questions. Piedmont gives us the question bank before CQ every year. The questions are right on our website under the training tab. So who gives a rats crapper if you have the questions?

Yea I know, it depends on the airline. My previous airline training nobody got more than 80% on tests. In this one just about everybody got a 100%....

Not sure if you're being facetious or not, but I actually picked up the LSAT study guide right after college. After perusing through the material and thinking hard about being an attorney, I returned it a few days later to the book store and pursued my flight certificates. No regrets.

Hmmm, fly airplanes, or become lawyer scum of the earth. Should have been a quick decision. On the other hand, some pilots are scummy, but at least they can look themselves in the mirror!

Exactly, give me a break... In 17 years of flying, 6 types, several regionals and a major, I havent seen one class that wasn't supplied gouge. The gouge usually comes from the company itself or the previous class.

You don't get fired for having gouge, you get fired for copying off of each other or off a sheet during the test.

(c) Any certificate or rating held by an applicant may be suspended or revoked if the Administrator finds that person has committed an act prohibited by paragraph (a) of this section.



If they in fact cheated (with proof of that) they should be glad that the FAA didn't get involved.

The above reg is for an FAA written exam. The feds could care less if someone was busted and fired for cheating on some regional systems exam.

Exactly! When you get a semester full of information sprayed at you in two weeks or you're the one doing the spraying you have to find a way to make the sheer bulk of material manageable. Review sessions targeting "must know" specifics, epecially if the class is relatively inexperienced, is a lot different than cheating.

Isn't there a law against wrongful termination? The innocent in that class could actually sue for a lot of money. Management needs evidence against each individual being fired; that's a lot of money times however many pilots weren't cheating. I know one of them, who DEFINITELY wasn't part of the "gouge" group. I hope he and the others who were fired without justification either get their jobs back, or screw it to these people brutally. ALPA, won't touch probationary members, eh? Day by day I am less and less impressed. Class action suit? Come on, people! Don't just bend over and take this shyte! IT'S ILLEGAL! SCREW THEM RIGHT BACK!

Did you return the book after reading it in the bathroom, a la George Castanza? That, in a way, is like cheating (the next buyer of the book!)

LOL. Considering that I'm a huge Seinfeld fan I appreciate that.

Nah, it sat on my bookshelf. Although I never understood the bathroom reading individuals. Perhaps my toilet "breaks" haven't the necessity (diet) for a long enough duration to read books or magazines.

Usually, I quietly smerk to myself when I'm a guest in someones home and see that they have a full array of reading material just so one can mentally occupy themselves as they conduct their business.
