For those of you stressing this interview, DON'T, the people at American Eagle are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet and they go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. They start the day out at 7:30 am, a person will come in and brief all of the applicants on what will happen during the day and all about American Eagle. During this period you'll also fill out a ton of paper work and hand in your logbooks for review. At about 9:30 am you'll get called for your first of two interviews, this is usually your technical interview. The person will come in and great you, then they'll walk you to an interview room close by. He started out by asking me little questions about what made me start flying and why AE.
Technical Questions Asked though:
-What is a destination and departure alternate?
-What weather causes you to file a destination alternate?
-Airport diagram/Takeoff legality chart: gives you visibility, can you take off, climb gradient and can you go, etc...
-Airport on the field, where is your FAF/FAP?
-Brief the ILS RWY 15L (I think?) into BWI
-Asked if your established on the G/S, weather goes below mins., can you shoot the approach?
-What if you have the visibility and not the ceiling requirements for that approach?
-Drunk Capt. scenario.
-Metar for KORD
-Know everything about the low enroute chart also.
-Some more Part 121 questions, my tech. interview only lasted about 20 minutes.

HR:
-Why Eagle?
-What characteristic would you change about yourself?
-Goal you've failed at, and what did you learn from it.

Just act like your having a normal conversation with these people and it'll make everything go ten times smoother than you would have ever thought.

Sim:
Boeing 707 simulator, it handles like a tank but is very stable, just make sure your instrument scan is good before you attempt to interview with AE. It's still the same approach as everywhere else, RWY 24R at LAX, power settings haven't changed.
