  • Read Page 1 ... asked me to explain any traffic tickets or check ride failures. They asked what my hardest day flying has been (I went all the way back to instrument training for this one). Some more HR questions like have I ever flown with a captain that I learned how I did and did not want to act when I upgrade, how do I think my work style in the flight deck is, etc. There were no TMAAT format questions, but I answered them as if they had been, with stories that showcase my experience rather than just telling them, and that seemed to go over well. After the HR portion, we got into the technical where they handed me a page with 5 METAR. We went through three or four of them and then they asked would I need an alternate for...

    Met a recruiter at PAPA conference and they were extremely helpful and offered their contact information so that we could stay in touch and answer questions and get me in as soon as more interview slots opened up. It took about 6 months to get the interview invite, which was pretty much what the recruiting team was expecting with the big industry downturn in hiring. Phone interview was very low threat, mostly HR questions like "any check ride failures, any drug test failures, etc" and two HR...

    Same as described before, big on weather and IFR regulations, HR was more personal to me since we all knew the person who recommended me so they more driven of â??what do you think this person would think of youâ?, â??what have you heard about Piedmontâ?, etc. Big on metars, I accidentally missed OCNL. but overall great people, great company, super...

    Excellent candidate experience. Initial contact was at one of the major aviation career conferences (i.e.; NGPA, WIA, LPA, PAPA, RTAG). Initially, I did not believe I was competitive for an opportunity at Piedmont given that their presentations often shared that they had over 14,000 applications on file. The presentation stated that actual IMC and multi-engine time increased an application's competitiveness and physical touchpoints, such as the career conference, were important to Piedmont....

Definitely have well thought out answers to the HR questions.  Learn to brief a jepp approach plate like you would be briefing your captain. I did one of the approaches mentioned in the other reviews but I honestly can't remember which it was now. Good...

    Interview process was very straightforward. They secured my log books and documents during the morning. We had a group orientation with information about the company. Then we were put out in the lobby for them to take us by twos. The interaction with the recruiters was completely genuine. They did their very best to keep it on a conversation level. They just want to make sure that you have some knowledge to your experience and that youâ??re a real person. They are assessing your core...

    The interview experience was really good overall. The study material available on the app was an excellent resource and helped me prepare thoroughly. The day started with a company presentation, which was very well doneâ??they made us feel comfortable and truly welcomed. After that, we waited until we were called in by two interviewers. The interview itself was very smooth and well organized. We discussed topics such as weather, METAR codes, microbursts, approach chart briefings, and...

    From the moment you show up Piedmont does everything to make you feel comfortable. Company presentation is about 30 minutes then they call you back for interviews. If you havenâ??t interviewed by lunch they feed you then you go back out in waiting area. Interview was 45 minutes but felt like 10. Know thunderstorm information, approach plate, and hotspots and other small details on a taxi chart and you will be more than fine. Study guide from this website was also very...
