During my first interview, I was speaking with Brandon who does recruiting for the company. His camera was not on, but mine was. He was very friendly and spoke about the pilot pathway program among other things before we got started with any questions. I was asked to brief an arrival into BNA, along with some other basic IFR stuff. The first interview I feel is more about interpersonal skills and some light technical knowledge. I was told I'd be passed to the second interview before we disconnected. The second interview was different. It was with the Chief Pilot and he did have his camera on. He asked me about Class D airspace dimensions, how wide the runway would be based on the number of threshold...

Follow the Study guide but Chief Pilot knows thereâ??s a list out there so donâ??t just memorize. He flips the script every once in a while to change it up. Asked about icing conditions mainly (Definition, when it occurs, types of deice/antice fluids needed). I had to read a TAF and make a go/no decision for destination and alternate airport (Liked that I used 135 regs). Gave me a scenario about a thrust reverser coming unlocked in flight and what immediate actions I would do (â??I know... -

The first call was with the recruiter, about 90 minutes long. We both joined the call early, so we kicked off the call before our start time. He was very friendly and set a relaxed tone. For the first 15-20 minutes, he explained how Contour works; the flying, the bases, the schedule, and the pay. Then we went into some HR and technical questions. If you're IFR current and familiar with Jepp plates, you won't find any surprises here. We discussed a flight from BNA to MIA, starting with taxi,... -

The first interview was the standard HR questions and then briefing an arrival. from there some question about the charts and holds. The second interview took a few months so be patient. On the second interview I was asked more questions (view the study guide of this website). Read weather reports and are alternates needed. Reading and briefing DP/SIDs and STAR. when can I descend bellow mins and some runway distance/with markings. Got call from the chief a month later for a job... -

Gave me a TAF and had me determine if we needed to file and alternate. (I asked if he wanted part 135 criteria and he said use whatever I wanted so I used the 123 rule and he was fine with that) - Gave me another TAF for the alternate and had me determine if it was a legal alternate. (again I used standard 800-2/600-2 for part 91 and he was fine with it) - Basic jet pressurization systems - Has you copy down an IFR clearance (Likes to give it to you really fast and doesn't give you an... -

I had a HR interview with Brandon. HR related questions were brief, and we moved on to flight planning. He had me open the taxi diagram for KBNA and give him taxi instruction from aircraft holding short at TWY L via T4 to RWY 2C. He wanted me to give him obstacles and how I'd taxi to the runway 2C holdshort. Then he had me brief KBNA CHADM FOUR departure to KCLT FILPZ FOUR arrival doing ILS RWY36L. I was asked few instrument questions on the approach plate. The last question I was asked was... -

Great experience with the interviews. There is an initial, roughly 2 hour interview that includes about 1 hr of more HR oriented discussion followed by a 1 hr technical discussion. The next interview is comprised of predominately technical questions and a few questions regarding your interest in Contour specifically/your story. Be advised that while the interview guide on here is a good starting point, there will be follow up questions that go deeper on each topic. Ensure that you have solid... -

The technical interview with the chief pilot felt very similar to a check ride. But the questions provided here were extremely helpful. The entire interview was 1 hour long and conducted via Microsoft Teams. He started off by asking questions. (view the study guide of this website). After all of the technical questions he asked some questions about my flying record. At the very end he said I would hear back in about a week. With the interview 1 week before Christmas, I had a feeling it... -

Study the guide. Know how turbine engines work. Know your instrument charts. Know how to do decent calculations. I was also asked about a hot battery/bus. Mostly IFR scenarios and questions. Super nice guys and company. Be personable and have conversations outside of aviation so they can get to know who you are as a person and not just a pilot. Good luck, youâ??ll do... -

Contour interview process is in two parts - first a Microsoft Teams (audio only) call with a former pilot who is now the full time recruiter. He is extremely affable. Spend time talking with him and displaying who you are as a person. We talked about the Smoky Mountains, Bourbon Trail, etc. He is very talkative, so he doesn't mind just powering through with the information he must provide you (HR related material), but you should strive to make conversation and ask questions.
