    As all others stated: this page is SPOT ON, ZERO surprises. I was very pleased with the in-person process. The museum is amazing! The overall experience was actually enjoyable despite being nervous. Looking back, I feel like the HR online interview probably holds more weight than originally thought. I think once you get the in-person interview you are probably 95% there. Thats my personal opinion anyway. The interview is held under the DC-3 which is awesome. It is very personal and...

    Interview was exactly as described from the other experiences on this site. Make sure you use the study guide. Everyone in the hiring department was very nice and kind. They want you to be there and to have an enjoyable experience. After the interview, we sat back in the waiting room to see if anyone's name gets called. I unfortunately had my name called at the very first to come back into the offices. The logbook reviewer had a question about my logbook/application that didn't add up. It...

    As everyone above has stated, the interview is very personable and relaxed. Easily the best interview experience Iâ??ve had! Read the gouge here and you will be fine! Make sure you have your logbooks squared away. That seemed to be the only factor separating those that received CJOs vs those who were unfortunately escorted...

    The HR portion of the interview went as previously discussed; TMAY, WHY AA?, TMAAT someone didnâ??t agree with a decision you made, How do you promote inclusion in the work place, and questions about my application. Very low threat. 2 week later was the in person interview. As stated in previously, great experience and they do a great job keeping you calm so they can get the opportunity to you the real you. Balance your answers with the STAR format, and what you learned from the experience....

    All the gouge on this site is spot on. Can not stress enough the importance of having your logbooks in order and added properly, they know what they are looking for and very good at finding errors, so comb through your numbers carefully. 12 of 14 candidates given a CJO in my...

    It went mostly as everything said on here. Everyone was incredibly welcoming, and they helped calm your nerves. We just have a conversation with the interviewers. I was asked to tell them about myself, two TMAAT questions, and two WWYD questions. Then some conversational talk. Regarding the TMAAT questions, the first one was really two in one, asking both for my MOST and LEAST effective briefing. Then for the WWYD questions, they kept digging deeper, changing up the scenario, adding new...

    Same as previous written gouges. Experience was the same. HR: Explain a GA situation at 50ft on short final, Explain what accountability means to you, Tell me about yourself. Interview was exactly the same as previous gouges, interview questions with one CA/FO: TMAY, deadheading and a passenger is filming a verbal altercation with a Flight Attendant, What are some things you might consider if your departure and destination airport have marginal winter weather, TMAT you had someone not follow...

    The previous gouges are spot on. They shuttle you to the museum. Upon checking in youâ??ll receive a badge. Put up your bags. Youâ??ll then go to a separate room, where they will check your docs and drop off your logbooks. Then they will take you to the museum. Be escorted into the theatre, watch a short film about American's culture. Youâ??ll come back out into the museum, where youâ??ll wait for your interview team to grab you. A Captain and FO will be your interview team. 2 TMAAT...

    Same as other reports. Shuttle from hotel to AA campus, check in with security, put bags in cubbies and taken back to a waiting room where we then verified docs and turned over logbooks. Then taken to CR Smith museum theater to watch 20 minute video and chat with management pilot, then out to the DC3, interviewers came and took us in to interview. Very conversational, they told me about themselves and we started. TMAY, tmaat questions, (view the study guide of this website).  lga-bos...

    The prep here is spot on, no surprise questions if you read through. With the HR interview online, if there are any technical glitches "audio drops, freezes, etc.) be sure to let them know, don't just ask them to repeat the question. Definitely practice your answers, avoid rambling on (feedback I got). They do their best to make you comfortable prior to the Technical portion, two pilots (pay attention to the video they show, half the people in it were also interviewers). Questions themselves...

  11. Aviation Interviews helped me get a CJO. It was a great experience. Highly recommend.

    The full interviews and list of questions are extremely helpful and a must have. It’s would be extremely difficult to prepare for an interview without them.
