Hi to all,

Just came back from the assessment,

COMPASS test: no surprises.

Interview: weird to say the less, an arrogant,almost disrespectful Captain and a no existent HR consultant. Absurd questions. He probably will talk more than you showing off about his experience and knowledge.

English Interview: Fair but be careful maybe some questions related to your COMPASS Psychological Test, if you have already completed it.

SIM: Frasca 142 single Pilot ride. Watch out if you are used to EFIS and multi-crew (rear thing these days), sensitive in Pitch. As per the examiner words: "This will be a simulation of an IFR check ride"...No further comments.

Poligraph: Just to fill in the paperwork, someone is making money out of it.

At the end, not a pleasant experience, disorganized, with long waiting times and without any kind of info about what to expect next. You feel that you are about to join the Army.

Not a clue of what they are looking for, of the group of eight people that met over there, only one made it to the next level. Different backgrounds but most of them +1000 Piston. Other with over 6000 and two type ratings didn't pass either.

My view, if you are jobless, low experienced and live in America close to one of the Airports where they operate, noting to lose...in other cases think twice, could be a waste of time and money, with no even a thank you in return.

I hope this help someone.
