Dec 01, 2023 First interview was with the recruiter very standard and friendly. Tell me about a time questions. Why empire? Set another more formal phone interview and then was asked more questions about my flying background and personal history. The recruiter emailed me about setting a date for a video interview over teams with the chief pilot. The final interview was straight forward had me brief an approach. Asked me questions about flying my current aircraft. The info on this site is... Continue reading this interview experience

Sep 07, 2023 The process takes place over 3 interviews. An initial phone screen, HR, and technical with HR + Chief Pilot. The HR portion was very straight forward. Have examples of how you've been a team player ready. For the technical interview, it was very laid back. We went over a good number of HR questions that were concerned with CRM and Situational Awareness. Have stories ready for these. They asked me to brief a FAA approach and answer questions about it. They also asked what hazardous attitude I... Continue reading this interview experience

Aug 07, 2023 3 step interview process. First call was a phone screen from an HR person, lasted about 10 minutes and was used to schedule the next interview and to get to know you a little bit. Second part was a call from HR with an interview that lasted about an hour. Lots of what "would you do in this scenario" and "tell me about a time when" type questions. They are very nice and fun to talk to. The 3rd step was an online face to face interview with the HR person and the chief pilot... Continue reading this interview experience

Jun 15, 2023 Interview was friendly with HR and Chief Pilot. The gouge on here is pretty basic, so study it and know it a little more in depth (like "what is needed to go below mins on approach"). Everything was here except one question, (view the study guide of this website). Other than that great... Continue reading this interview experience

Jun 06, 2023 This was from the technical interview (3rd) Questions asked, Only wanted the answer from the regs.  Had me brief an approach plate Asked what I would do if I saw a coworker not using checklists. He showed me a hold on a low enroute chart and asked me what hold entry I would do, I didn't notice the turns were left-hand turns with an outbound course. This was the only thing I didn't answer right at first. Just look carefully. He asked me what a note on an approach plate meant. It said... Continue reading this interview experience

The recruiting, interviewing, onboarding, and training process at Empire Airlines has been very smooth. Very few surprises along the way. Everything has been very much "as advertised." I just started flying the line, and I'm very pleased with the company. HR called me the same day I applied. Expect: (1) 30-min informal HR phone screening; (2) Semi-formal HR phone interview (45-min); and (3) Final TEAMS/ZOOM interview with HR and Chief Pilot (1-hour). First 2 interviews come with...

Three stage interview process, all of which was very relaxed and easy-going. The first phase was a basic phone screen, followed by a formal HR interview and then a Chief Pilot interview. All three had some "TMAAT" questions, with the HR interview most heavily focused on this area. Chief Pilot interview included some regulations, IFR and procedure topics but no systems or aircraft-specific questions. If you're IFR current/proficient and know your regs you'll be totally fine....

Whole process started with receiving a phone call from a recruiter just wanting to talk about the position and schedule a time for a phone interview. Phone interview was very straight forward, mostly talked about simple TMAAT questions and what would you do if… etc. Just be honest. We then set up a time to conduct an interview over Microsoft teams with a chief pilot. Again, very laid back, Chief pilot asked a few technical questions but really just basic IFR stuff. Had me brief an... Continue reading this interview experience

Topics covered were TMAAT, some interpersonal scenarios, aviation goals, more specifics about the location I applied to and all the other normal questions you would get asked by a...
