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...

Great overall experience. Talked about the company and why I want to work for them. Went into technical questions from there. A lot of IFR questions (view the study guide of this website). Finished by discussing the position, pay, bases, benefits. I was told I'd hear back in the next two... -

Just be ready to get a lot of situational questions. He uses some from the study guides on here but tries to go a different route because he knows people use it. He gave me a lot of situations about icing and other questions, (view the study guide of this website). He asked me to read a taf and metar to decide if I could use that airport as my alternate. I also briefed an approach, a SID, and a... -

The first interview was with Brandon, who is also a pilot and very easy to talk to. It started out with about an hour of HR related topics, where he tells you about the company, the pay, and day-to-day life. Then he moved into a simulated flight, where we went from being on the ramp at MIA to the taxi route (hot spots) and the departure (symbology on the departure plate). Then we moved on to the arrival at JFK, where he asked about symbology again and a few other questions about the route.... -

Many of the previous gouges explain how the two interviews are structured. Compared to the first round, the second one was pretty straightforward and more like rapid fire questions. It lasted about 1 hour. (view the study guide of this website). All of the previous gouges were EXTREMELY HELPFUL. My biggest advice is to come over prepared and ask questions. You won't be told if you answered a question incorrectly during the interview. However, they also don't want you to fail, so they... -

The technical interview was pretty in depth. Know your weather really well. Filing an alternate. Look at TAFs decide about an alternate and give alternate WX mins. (view the study guide of this website). Brief a takeoff, VMC considerations SMACFUM. RNP considerations on an IFR chart and why. If there are two ATIS frequencies why would that be? Stay sharp on instrument knowledge and calculating... -

Amazing interview experience from the very beginning. First is a shorter interview with the recruiter, where you do a simulated flight scenario and walk through how you would approach each segment. He asks a few questions and is looking for overall strong decision making. Then you'll be scheduled with the cheif pilot, which I was told can take a few weeks. This second interview was much more in depth and about 1 hour long. Make sure to study jet systems- PACKs, the turbine engine,... -

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,... -

First interview with Brandon was great. We went through how everything at Contour works, including pay, bases, and overall expectations, before jumping into a scenario-based technical portion. The questions genuinely made you think. Your instrument knowledge needs to be extremely strong. You should be highly familiar with STARs, SIDs, Jeppesen plates, charts, holds, how to brief them, and what virtually everything on them means. Because it is a scenario-based interview, anything on that...
