To my knowledge that was not recorded anywhere. However there are interviews with participants on the call: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/17Vi9dDtZvbwHDafrygRG...

One of the reasons why I think he was bullshitting was that according to the testimony, he said to answer the question about how many sports you played in high school honestly, but that wast the wrong information because that one of the questions where some answers would give you more points than others. The other reason is that it's just painfully obvious from the testimony that this guy was not reliable - he took a generic resume writing guide that he had been given years ago and passed it off as inside information.

> he said to answer the question about how many sports you played in high school honestly, but that was one of the questions where some answers would give you more points than others.

That's exactly what is alleged: Snow told applicants which answers were worth the most points. This is what Snow himself claimed, too.

And the FAA's internal investigation did have witnesses say that they were instructed on how to respond to the Biographical Assessment:

> One witness said during the call, participants told they were looking at questions on the BA test but did not know what to enter on the test. According to this witness, [redacted] responded with information that should be entered on the BA test.

If the voicemails are recorded anywhere, that will put this question to rest.

  • Right, my point is that instead of providing the answer that would get the applicant the most points, he told them to answer honestly. That doesn't make sense if his goal was to cheat.

    • You don't need a perfect score, you just need enough points to pass. There's no reason to cheat on every question, just enough of them
