    My interview was around 45 to 50 minutes. The first 15-20 were with Brandon and he told me all about the company with their history and how I would move up over time if I was hired. Then he asked me if I had any questions and went into some technical questions. He asked me what are two things I need before I start to taxi, and I told him clearance and weather. He also asked what is a hotspot on a taxi diagram, and what is the slope gradient of the...

    Both of my interviews, the HR and Technical interview were with the Chief Pilot Greg and both were about two weeks apart from each other. He was very friendly and does not require you to know everything but you should be able to answer questions openly and honestly. The first interview was basic HR/interview questions and lasted about a little over an hour or so. He had a few of those basic interview questions to try and dig into your mind a little bit and also to get to know you and how...

    Both of my interviews were with Greg, the chief pilot. He is a cool guy and isn’t trying to trick you. The first interview was basic HR/interview questions and a few of those oddball interview questions to try and dig into your mind a little bit.  He asked a few questions about my CFI experience and to explain how the fuel system works on the aircraft I fly most. He ended the interview with a 10-15 minute explanation of the schedule I would have as an FO, how training works, and...

    The first interview was with Brandon and it was more or less just the basics about Contour and what to expect if hired. I didn't have any technical questions but I had worked at Contour as a ramp agent and I saw from the other interviews on here that he would typically ask a couple of questions on some basic Multi Engine stuff and what's on the study guide for this site. The actual tech interview is afterward. I had mine about 2 weeks after the initial interview with Brandon and took it with...

For the first 30 minutes of the call he explained everything about Contour: its history, fleet, route structure, pay and benefits, training structure, and possibilities for advancement. He then opened up the floor to me for any questions I had. After that, he asked me about myself, followed by one multi-engine question, (view the study guide of this...
