AirTran Airways Pilot Interview:
Interviewed in Atlanta. 16 pilots invited, 4 no shows. Most were current 121 with a couple of corporate guys included. We were all there by 0845. At 0900 Jill Nidifer of HR took us into a conference room for a company briefing. Later four pilot joined in to tell us more. We then were taken back to the lobby. One person was called to the sim, one into the personal interview. Sim check was conducted by two captains and you were allowed to pick either right or left seat, whatever you were comfortable with.
SIM CHECK:
- they will only set T/O power and pull gear and flaps for you, rest of sim check power management is your responsibility.
- climb to 5000' at 15° pitch attitude
- once level, accelerate and hold 250 kts
- slow to 200 kts then descend to 3000'
- during this time you are getting radar vectors to a raw data ILS
Sim is an Elite desktop modeled on the MD81. Very pitch sensitive but their just looking at your basic pilot skills and scan. Sim check for all of us lasted 10-15 minutes.
