Arrived one prior to interview as instructed and met with other interviewees in the cafeteria. I must admit the whole atmosphere was extremely relaxed and the employees expressed their gratitude which actually felt genuine. The first part of the interview was HR where I met with a senior female captain and an HR rep. Both thanked me for being there and seemed pleased that I could make it. I understand everyone needs pilots but this was the most appreciated interview I can ever recall, which reduced the tension immensely! Both were kind and gave a spiel about how the interview would go, specifically they not only wanted TMAA answers but how did you deal with it and what did...

  1. Interview sample 1

    Apr 17, 2024 The interview format was exactly like the emailed instructions: Logbooks Review/Tour (45 min.)- Show up 1:30 minutes early (extra 30 min to complete flight time worksheet/relax). Only bring tabulated logbooks and PRD, pen, and water bottle. A United Capt receives the candidates in the cafeteria, collects logbooks/PRD/Flight Time Worksheet, gives a high level overview of state of the company, history, and what to expect for the interview. Also time for questions and restroom break. Wait in... Continue reading this interview experience

  2. Interview sample 2

    Apr 17, 2024 The Welcome Packet instructions were spot on. I can add: Bring a flight experience summary because you will need to fill out a flight summary section for an application addendum upon arrival. From what I remember, you need Total, PIC, SIC, ME, and Turbine times. (Others please respond if you need other times). I am happy that I showed 1.5 hours before interview time, not the 1 hour as the instructions. This gave me time to fill out the worksheet, organize my logbooks, use the bathroom, and...

  3. Interview sample 3

    Apr 17, 2024 As said on here, the interview team was awesome! I was the first to arrive for my interview time. While waiting at the table, several UA pilots stopped to cheer me on. Once other applicants arrived, we talked until a recruiting pilot came to get us. You get a quick tour of the training center then the pilot gives you tips and pointers for the interview. The interview itself was straight forward. Started out with their introductions. They then asked if there were any additional failures... Continue reading this interview experience

  4. Interview sample 4

    Apr 04, 2024 This website was EXTREMELY helpful. Absolutely zero surprises on any questions or admin portion. Dropped off docs at beginning of tour, I over prepared for docs, just bring what they want and have your logbooks rubber banded together or in a binder. Very relaxed and low threat, waited in the comfortable room “holding cell” for about 10 mins chatting with other participants and the tour guide. For interview they introduced themselves and I did my intro, I know I went over 5 mins... Continue reading this interview experience

  5. Interview sample 5

    Apr 02, 2024 TMAAT questions, (view the study guide of this website including the Sim/Scenario section).  Boeing 777 Captain. Very attentive and focused on my answers and response. I had the feeling the interview is most certainly tailored to your experience, as no tech questions from any gauges I reviewed were asked by the captain. Last question after the legal stuff, was "Why United" and they emphasized you have 2 min don’t go over that. So I tailored my answer and took a minute... Continue reading this interview experience

  6. Interview sample 6

    Apr 02, 2024 The website gouge is spot on. Show up and they have you fill out a document with your recent flight time numbers and asks a few questions about any check ride failures. Go to the cafeteria to wait with the other applicants. Two CA's gathered us up and took us on a quick tour of the building. Turned in our required documents. They did an excellent job of really trying to put you at ease. They genuinely are excited to have you there which eased the nerves a bit. Took you into a "holding...

  7. Interview sample 7

    Mar 28, 2024 Overall, the descriptions on this site are very accurate. I arrived at the Flight Training Center 1 hour and 30 minutes early and waited in the cafeteria. There were about 10 applicants. A current United Captain led us on a tour of the building and then to the waiting room. Pilot interviewers entered the room and individually called us for our interviews. The interviewers, both Pilot and HR, were very professional and made a concerted effort to ensure I felt comfortable throughout the... Continue reading this interview experience

  8. Interview sample 8

    Mar 28, 2024 The interview process began by attending NGPA about 2 months ago.  Having my application in for about a year, I decided that by going to NGPA to talk with a United captain in person would help lead to an interview invite which subsequently happened 10 days later, at the end of last month. I booked the Hotel in Denver as a different hotel was sold out two weeks prior to the interview (be sure to book the latter as soon as you receive the interview invite). I was assigned the 0800...

  9. Interview sample 9

    Mar 22, 2024 Exactly as described in other write ups. If you are offered an interview spot, they want you to be successful. The interview starts off with the PM of hiring with an in-brief, and continues as a complete low threat environment that is super welcoming. Every HR question asked is documented in this website and the tech portion is set to be very similar to an instrument... Continue reading this interview experience

  10. Interview sample 10

    Mar 22, 2024 Exactly as described in other posts. Tell me about yourself, 5 TMAAT and then into the technical. No iPad provided so had to brief from memory. They used my home base airport for departure so it made it easier to brief. Why United. Overall good experience and they make you feel... Continue reading this interview experience
