Which might explain why there are airline prep outfits which fine tune you for the interview and group exercise.
And for integrated courses there is plenty material on line to prepare for the aptitude testing etc. Anyone who cannot achieve an extremely high score on these haven't prepared well enough. It is turning into a hoop jumping exercise.
Cheaper to just hire those with a golf handicap of single figures, or some other team game (basket ball?) to demonstrate hand to eye coordination and team work?
