I guess I don't understand why they would be waiting for a Letter T pilot when it would only be a handful for the 9/6 class? Is it really worth delaying for the last three weeks just to accommodate less than 25 at best Letter T pilots? ***!

If your a junior native AA you'd definately want them to wait If those guys don't come back then if arbitrators are sticking 2 AA then1 US then 2 AA you could potentially be senior to a few more US pilots in the end 25 might not seem like a lot but when you get displaced or furloughed 1 number can make all the difference

What I'm really looking for is more than a general description about what is expected for the cog test. That math stuff looks difficult!!

Anyone have any info they can send me?? Thanks!

Fill in the missing operations...

So the answer is... X, +, %

Remeber your order of operations... Always multiple and divide before you add or subtract

I practiced these A LOT before the interview, tried to research if there was a good way to tackle them (found nothing) and still had a tough time with some of them. I kept getting within one number of the answer several different ways. I skipped a few which they tell you to try not to do.

I think some people just see these patterns easier than others.

I got through about 5 or 6 (including the ones I skipped) and it sent me to the next activity. I think others got through more than me so the computer must have realized I was doing poorly and moved me on for my own emotional wellness, ha!

Practice but don't stress if you feel like you aren't doing well. I still got the offer.

Probably not if your not one of those 25 LAA pilots that would have your career potentionally hammered by being unnecessarily put further back on the combined list so the arbitrators could "guess" at the number of Letter T pilots that will return or not return.

If you personally were one of those 25 whose career hung in the balance you think you might come to a different conclusion about your question? These arbs aren't going to screw 25 pilots just because some pilots who care only about themselves are becoming impatient.

Isn't the requirement 'by Oct 1st'? So why the concern about any day before then? If a delay helps make it more accurate we should welcome that.

I don't think he was suggesting the arbs screwing the T guys.

No clue. Havn't seen anything but the rumors - 1000 in 2017.

Will they use CLT in conjunction with DFW?
