The interview was at 9:30am at their offices in Newtown, PA. They do not provide air or ground transportation. Their offices are about 30 minutes from Philladelphia Airport
(PHL). There were 10 people at the interview, 6 had Airbus time, and the other 4 had glass cockpit time in various aircraft. 8 of the candidates were furloughed.

Be prepared to be there for 5 to 6 hours. The first hour consisted of a very thorough overview of the company, destinations, aircraft delivery, training, benefits, pay, and
working conditions. You are also expected to fill out the paperwork for the application, background check, PRIA, etc. if you did not receive them in the mail beforehand. I was
FedExed the paperwork the day after I set up the interview. The rest of the time consists of one-on-one interviews with various people in the company. All of the interviews are pretty much personality tests. They want to get to know you as a person.
Everything is off your resume.

My first interview was with the Chief Pilot, Tim Lyons. He is a very nice guy and makes you feel very comfortable. He does most of the talking, asking you a few questions about past aircraft you flew and past companies you worked with. They do require you to resign your seniority number, and also have you sign a two year $30K training contract if you are hired. He asked if I had any problem with those requirements. He
explained more about the company and asked if I had any questions and if this was the kind of airline I would like to work at. This lasted about 20 mins.

My second interview was with a senior line Captain. He asked the typical HR personelle type questions. Briefly explain your flying career from day one. Why do you want to work for us as opposed to other companies you may have interviewed with? Have you ever had a conflict with a Captain, how did you handle it? Have you ever had any accidents, incidents, or violations? He also asked if I understood the seniority and contract thing, and if I had a problem with that. Asked if I had any questions. This lasted about 20 mins. as well.

My third interview was with the COO, Angus Kinnear. He only asked about 4 questions because he had a flight to catch and wanted to have a chance to meet all the interviewees. He asked the same kind of things as the Chief Pilot. Why do you want to work for us? Do you have a problem resigning your seniority? Did you have any trouble transitioning into the last aircraft you flew (glass cockpit)? This lasted less than
5 mins.

My final interview was with Andy Clay, the Director of Flight Training. Again, this was just like the Chief Pilot interview. He really just wanted to get to know you. Asked
about my hours, how many Capt. hours, how many hours in my last aircraft (glass). Do I have a problem resigning my seniority? Did I have trouble in training using the FMS? Do you have any questions? This lasted about 10 mins.

Finally, the HR people came in and collected all our paperwork and made sure everything was filled out. You are then free to go when you have finished all your interviews.

There were no technical, systems or mental math questions asked. Even though I prepared (not knowing what they would ask), there was no reason to prepare for this interview. They really just want to get to know you and see if you fit in with the company. There is no sim or written tests. Also, they provide lunch at noon time. Good luck to all, and smile!
