Course it would help.
Anyone company that requires a 3 day accessment, then nothing would surprise.
I known of companies that recruit B747 Capts and F/O's (F/O's 1000 hrs min) on completion of a 1 day accessment.
What are Eagle planning to operate? Space Shuttles?

does knowing how to ride a motorcycle rrreeeaaallllllyyy fast beside a runway with a vacant expression help???
Goodness Gracious Great Balls Of Fire!!!
Sounds like you boys have Lost That Loving Feeling.
You obviously need a hand figureing it out - who the best pilots are. We are the only ones that can handle the need. The need for speed.
Think you lot should be flying a cargo plane full of rubber dog sh#t out of Hong Kong.
You're all just a bunch of Flyboys clogging up the pattern.

Some of you guys are sad ******s, I love working for Eagle. The Beech is fun to fly, I'm gaining valuable experience which will set me up for big brother in time to come. 98% of the guys I fly with are easy to get on with, friendly and I rarely read the roster and go SH** thats going to be a long day.
I think Eagle get it mostly right with their interview process. Sounds like a lot of the guys winging and moaning may be the ones who RIGHTFULLY didn't make it.
The Three day interview is half a day the first day, 45mins the next, and 1hr the last day. From what I'v heard there are some disasters in the sim. maybe some people should have been knitters not pilots.

Splat, just because Uncle Koru has a three day interview doesn't mean that Eagle is justified in doing so. Air Nelson do a 45 minute personality and knowledge interview and that works for them just fine, you certainly don't see the numbers failing there that you do at Eagle. Now I'm not saying that Eagle pilots that succeed are any worse than those at Air Nelosn but I think you could easily argue that Air Nelson prescreen their interviewees better and pick from places with a good track record of producing pilots with good handling skills and a team focused attitude. Maybe if Eagle started using this method then they might lower the failure rate of the interview, simulator and line training.

MDA, unfortunately your argument doesn't have alot going for it. You cannot compare pass rates on checks-to-line directly with the type of interview process. But I do think you can compare individual training regimes and interview styles.
Airlines will develop interview techniques and standards with their training procedures and line operations in mind. So one example might be; any deficiencies in training resourses available has to be a major factor in deciding what skills and attributes the interviewee must have from day one. Possibly an example of looking for the 'just add water' co-pilot in Eagle Air's case due to the specifics of their operation and therefore their need for a more in-depth interview process.
Air Nelson would be a good choice of a first airline job due to their good training resourses and procedures. But with this in mind I suggest that the need to be more selective during the interview process is of less importance due to the comfort of training resourse available.
I think you were right though, when you said
in particular
Joseph is right, after reading toby jac's post you have to wonder why the process is not condenced into one day. Instead of having 9 guys for 3 days, possibly 3 guys each day for 3 days, reducing costs to the individual.
The main point is to realise that to compare different companies' procedure's is pointless unless said companies' are similar in type,size and operation. Failing that it will be too easy to debate without resolution.

OK, point taken the 3 day interview is bloody long and costly to the individual.
All I'm trying to get at is there is not point complaining about it because it ain't going to change.
I hear Mount Cook has just gone to a two day interview??????????
TOBY JAC is correct in saying that 98% of the lads and ladies are bloody good to work with (in saying that I haven't flown tossers yet!)
Time for a Top gun quote BUT I can't because I've only seen it once

Sure it might be a pain in the ass having to sit around the "great" city of Hamilton (i assume thats where the interveiws are), but thats the hoops you have to jump through fella's. I heard on the last day you all stand around a pool in white suits and raybans, Can anyone confirm this and if so do we have to supply our own suits.
Splat - only once! instead of reading big trevs book on p of f i just watched topgun a few times. I failed the exam 8 times but i can quote topgun better than most.
Remember boys, "Below the hard deck doesnt count."

You see splat? You wasted your youth bro ...
you should have been down the lounge watching top gun with the boys, instead of listening to fatboy slim and lying in that hammock all day watching *****'s vast porno collection
(names censored to protect the blatantly guilty)
Ah jeez I've gone all nostalgic now, someone get me a tissue
