DAL Psych evaluation

[71KILO]

So just out of curiosity, does the psych eval consist of a written test or do you sit down with a quack...or is it both? Also, if I understand correctly, you only do the psych eval if you do well the first day right?

Both

MMPI-2 like 576 T/F questions
Then a short interview with a Psych doc to see if you are full of BS or not


Again, the point is: Answer honestly. You are human and unfortuneatly you have to prove it.

I just got the word that my psyc results will be forwarded to the review board. They said that some make it through but it doesn't sound good.

When did you interview?

 

[captain caveman]

It took 2 days from when I interviewed.

More and more are getting past the review board. All I can say is be honest. They will catch you in any lie that you tell. It is always better to hear it from you than from the test/psych, or your background check.
If you have messed up, own up to it and take the responsibility. Maturity and honesty go a long way.

ehhh, you don't actually talk to the review board.

How does one know if they failed the mmpi or psych eval?

They didn't tell me.

I didn't pass the psyche eval either. It seems if Delta wants to use "their" psyche to do a re-evalution for the review board, then that psyche should talk to you in person. This way he can get his on conclusion, rather than a conclusion from notes.

Now I'm still flying Delta passengers with more responsibility as a Captain. That's ok, but not as an F/O with a different ID..

getting hired at DAL, SWA, UPS, FedEX, NAL, AMR or any other legacy has less to do with being a captain and more to do with personality. especially if you are going to have to sit next to someone at a legacy for 14 plus hours!! ok, minus your crew rest or bunk time! once you have gotten an interview, they assume you can fly. if you can't, they will train you...if you still can't fly...they let you go!

This is what I thought was established on the first day.

Yea, I agree....I thought the PILOTS decided that they like you. If the Psychologist decides whether he would like to hang with you or not, then I am not surprised I failed.

I know a way to pass....

Made it through the process seven years ago, if you want a fail-proof way to ensure success with the psyche, pm me.

The psyche is more of DAL's release of liability. If you pass and go nuts they have a piece of paper saying that the shrink said that you were OK.

 

[Amish RakeFight]

What other majors administer the MMPI-2?

 

[ACL65PILOT]

None that I know of

Wish you would have told me this back in March.

 

[captain caveman]

To everyone who is waiting on the board, you can get through it. Hang in there!

 

[7KS]

Anybody know when the next board is going to meet?

 

[C-17 Driver]

There are at least 5, likely more in the boat (including me). The board last met on Sep 7th. If they get enough people, the board could convene within the next 2 weeks. The wait sucks. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. Hopefully, my next 2 interviews will be better.

 

[7KS]

I wish you the best.

 

[chucklhed]

Shag, what other 2 do you have? Hopefully they don't have the same stupid test.

I heard about the 5 when someone else in the loony boat called AK's office at DAL. She told him that there were 5 people so far. This was as of 2 weeks ago.

Good post on other forum about the process. I don't know if it is true or not.

 

[7KS]

Word has it that the review board is meeting tomorrow, 1 October.
