I was originally sch. to interview on the 8th of Aug, however due to the possible strike they decided to bring me in the 20th of Aug. I rode the system in from ORD to ATW. Stayed at a hotel recommended by them about 15 min. from airport. (You pay for hotel). Around 0830 everyone meant in the hotel lobby for the van ride back out to the airport where their offices are located upstairs. At 0900 they brought emeryone into a room and gave us a breifing as to what Air Wi was like and some of their plans for the future. After that you were given a real simple 10 question written exam. BACCBBAADB were the answers. How far from a t-storm shold you fly at 20000ft? 20 miles HOlding leg lenght above 14000? 1.5 min. 2 real simple METAR questions dealing with vis. and light snow and fog. 2 simple questions about an approach plate. 4 other questions which were simple, no sweat. You were then broken into 2 groups. The first group went to the sim and the 2nd grp. went to the interview. The interview was typical. 2 on 1, Only 2 tech questions. What is V1 and what is class a airspace? Why Air Wi? Time you disagreed with capt and the outcome. Time you were proud of your leadership ability? Time when you had to make a command decision? Tell us about your flying Career? For the sim you were taken to a BA146 Capt house to fly a Elite kingair 200 sim. They give you a card to study with the power and pitch settings. They want you to do the take off using a 146 profile. T.O. power, V1, rotate to 15, gear up at positive rate, climb to 1000 agl then 5 degrees and accelerate to 160, bring flaps up and then back to 15 and climb at 170 to 4000, level off and then a couple of normal turns. Then climb to 10000 fast , 1 steep turn and then down to 3000. Vectors for the ILS 29 at ATW, they want you to bring the flaps to app. 12nm out and gear down 1 dot above. Fly down to mins. (1075 msl) then missed app. using the 146 profile. YOu tell him what entry (par.) and thats about it. Us the VSI alot and fly either the elite or even the flight sim 2000 sim before you show up. You are finished around 1430 but will probably wait to catch to 1640 flight back to ORD if you rode the system in. I felt very good about the interview. Did not miss one on the written, felt very confident in the interview and the sim guy told me I nailed the sim, however 1 week later I received a letter in the mail saying no thanks. I believe there hiring plans changed that week and everyone who interviewed that week received the same letter. (Wrong place at the wrong time!) Good luck to all! PS. They interview in either DEN or ATW, I interviewed in ATW with 4 others all of which were commutair FOs on furlough and like I said I believe everyone received the same letter I did.
