AmeriStar Pilot Interview:

This seems to be a crappy company to fly for. Heard they have lost 15 pilots since Sept. When told about the schedule, told them thanks, but no thanks. They have a 5 on 2 off schedule with one 12 on 2 off per month. Basically works out to having 6 days off a month. Was told you are gone (away from base/home) from monday morning until friday night or sat morning. You must also live at a base, detroit, addison or el paso, tx. No Commuting. They also have 1 week vacation every 3 months or 4 total weeks of vacation, but you can only take 1 week every quarter. Pay might beat a regional, but Q.O.L will stink.

Easy interview though. Some typical HR questions, current job, would you take a trip if you had been up all day and the pager goes off at 10pm, ect. Technical questions about regs, when you need to file an alternate 135, multi engine weight and balance how many mos. ect. Did a phone interview with Chief pilot and a lady from HR.
