CPL or ATPL exams should be the least of your concerns (FYI info are copy paste 100% from the GLEIM books ,so is the computer study you will have,GACA test is exactly the same with FAA with 100 Qs,pass rate is 70% but SV will not accept if its not above 80%, you will have a second shot if your score is below 70 ,so far all of the guys score easily more than 90%).You have to worry about the SV pre oral exam on your TR .Then is the the GACA oral exam on your TR .Then is the SV check ride in the sim before the GACA check ride in the sim.Naturally the same goes for line training as well (34 sectors for CPT 22 for FO).You are still worrying about the CPL or ATPL exam ?

PS1. First Direct entry FOs on the WB fleet started last July. Since then the numbers are steadily increasing . Since Jan 2015 more than 20 FOs have joined the company.Most of them are coming from Egypt Air as they can keep their seniority for 4-5 years. Keep in mind that SV plans for 80-90 local cadets this year (same with 2014 )

PS2 Last week's assessment in Cairo was very successful as of the 14 who took the written test 13 of them got a job offer after the interview.
