Did you have any issues with logbooks, application or paperwork? | No problems. I used an electronic logbook with a format similar to the examples provided by RST. |

Technical Test Questions | It’s been said a hundred times, but don’t try to memorize answers from RST. You’ve got to know the concepts. |

Cog Test | RST Cog prep is spot on. Carefully read the directions before each section. Reread them if necessary. Commit the symbols to memory! |
Cog Math Questions | Easier than RST. |
HR Questions | Tell us about yourself and why you would be a good fit here. Explain a hub turn. Several WWYD type questions–just remember safety, safety, safety! TMAAT you had a setback in your career. What’s the big deal about being a FedEx pilot? |

Any additional information you would like to add. | If I remember correctly, we were told 45 per month through April, then down to 25 per month after that. |
Is their anything you wish you could have done different to prepare you for this process? | I wish I had started studying earlier for the job knowledge test. There is a lot of material to get through. I wish I had given more attention to the WWYD type scenarios. |
What can we do to improve our services? | |
