  • Applied after talking to PSA at a conference online. Within a few days got an email to schedule the HR portion of the interview, which was over the phone and just a logbook/hour review and got asked "Why PSA?", but no other HR questions. Scheduled the technical then and was sent a study guide that mainly had some tips/tricks and a few old Jepp plates, but nothing that was directly used on my interview. My interview was with a current PSA FO and started with a logbook review and just confirmed my hours followed by a few HR questions -- Why PSA (again) and what qualities I think about in a good leader and follower. Then started the technical portion. He shared his screen with me and began with me decoding a Metar (pretty tough one with some unusual and rarer things on it) and asked if I need a takeoff alternate, followed by showing me a TAF...

    If you can go through all of the tabs and answer every single question on this study, you'll be great. I did get very basic PPL questions so brush up on even the basics (required documents, aircraft loading and stability, instruments required for IFR, etc.) I fly corporate so i haven't thought about this in a while but it's basically a checkride oral. Be personable, i believed that helped a lot. I even asked a question during my interview about the chart and he was more than happy to answer....

    Interview was as previously stated. Rapid fire questions on general FARs, aerodynamics, thunderstorms, read METAR, TAF, 1123 rule and is an alternate needed? Was not asked about takeoff alternate, but be ready to explain about it if asked. Jepp Plate review (know symbology, how to comply with descent via vs cleared for). Really basic level knowledge of these items. Overall it was a very friendly 1 on 1 with another...

    Very straightforward and my interviewer did an outstanding job of making me comfortable. Be prepared for METAR/TAF questions, have strong instrument knowledge and be prepared to read everything on a JEPP...

    Started with the HR phone screen. This was a quick 10 minute call to confirm flight times, ask about failures, and "Why PSA?" During this phone screen I scheduled the technical for the next week. Technical interview was with a FO. Started with rapid fire general knowledge questions, (view the study guide of this website).  After this read a METAR and TAF and questions.  Talked about symbols that are on a SID, STAR, and approach plate. No actual briefs, just pointed at things and...

Then went into Weather followed by rapid fire Jepp chart questions from slides, Departures, Arrivals, Approach, AP diagram. Finishing with Regulation question and then asking if I had any other questions. Overall a pretty quick...

    Very calm interview. Began by going over all documents (medical, licenses, passport, etc.) then dove into logbook times. Questions began rapid fire of random subjects. Decoding a METAR and TAF.   Then the interviewer pulled up different JEPP charts and asked several questions on these. Know JEPP symbols and you'll be fine. (view the study guide of this website). Asked other questions. Talked about C-172 engine.  Overall it was a very fast interview. Answered the questions i was...

    My interview was a bit surprising. I had a lot of very general questions, random things, (view the study guide of this website).  Not a big deal if you're a CFI, but it was surprising amount of random questions before the IFR flight scenario. They were also training an interviewer during mine, not sure if that had anything to do with that. I got the IFR flight scenario from DTW to CLT. that part was as described. rapid fire jep questions. Decode metar / taf. They were very friendly and...

    Overall the technical interview was incredibly straight forward thanks to my prep using the resources provided on this site. My interview was conducted was with two current PSA First Officers who were each very kind and professional. Other than being asked to introduce myself and verify hours, there was little covered prior to moving into the technical portion of the interview. The technical questions were broad in category, but most (but not all) were quite surface level. Really just felt...

    The interviewer was running 10 minutes late so I think it was implied we would keep things short and sweet. Gave me his background and then asked my background. He was a CA on some sort of leave and assigned to the hiring department. We went into METAR and TAF reading. They were both related to IFR conditions and if we could conduct an approach (METAR) or needed an alternate (TAF). I didn't know one of the items on the METAR but we moved on. Next was Jepp approach and SIDs. Asked very basic...

    Interview started off with general introductions. Talked about my experience prior getting into aviation. Interviewer is a Captain. Started by going over flight times and verifying my information is correct and that I actually meet the requirements then started with technical portion of the interview. Was asked some Part 91 questions. (view the study guide of this website).  Then was given a METAR to read and ask what should I be considering with the info provided. Then we walked...
