    It's a relaxed interview. The prep here was good, I do recommend studying the material they have for the interview. If you're a current airline pilot, this will not be difficult. If you're a CFI/Commercial Pilot, definitely read up on turbine engines, be sharp on approach plates and the general CFI stuff like harazardous attitudes. Be sure to relate it to yourself. As always Safety...

    It was a 2 part interview, 1st one was mainly HR with the recruiter and 2nd was technical questions with the chief pilot. HR questions, (view the study guide of this website),  scenario questions was mainly about hearing your thought process on how you handle it as a pilot, TMAAT and personal questions; this is your chance to tell good stories and how you learn from them that made you a better and safer pilot. Technical questions was about complacency and how you handle it. Chief pilot...

    The interview preparation service was incredibly valuable and played a major role in helping me feel confident going into my interview. The guidance provided was tailored to the position, and the practice questions covered exactly the types of topics that came up during the actual interview. Having the opportunity to think through my responses beforehand allowed me to communicate my experience and qualifications much more effectively when it mattered most. What impressed me most was how...

    The interview prep from this site was pretty accurate. Get your personal experience answerâ??s ready. Be ready for a year commitment. Think of a time you had a lack of situational awareness, think of a time that you had to defend your safety stance in a flight situation, (view the study guide of this website).  Know youâ??re low in route charts, how to brief a ILS plate. Theyâ??re gonna ask if you have any questions for them, make them count. This is a great time to really connect...

    Follow the study guide as others have said and you’ll be in a great spot. So far the experience has been amazing. I heard back the same day about a chiefs interview. First interview was HR. Both asked me TMAAT questions. Heard back less than a week later that I got the...

  6. 6. 

    Super casual and laid back. Started with a phone screen, phone HR interview the next day, zoom technical the day after with CP. HR screen: TMAY, TMAAT questions, (view the study guide of this website).  what would you do if the cargo loaders were running late and needed help. CP questions: Why Empire, why cargo,  brief an approach. The "technical" really wasn't anything technical other than the approach brief. Got the call 4 days...

    The interview consisted of 3 parts. 1) Short HR confirming hours and schedule more in depth HR interview (15 min); 2) Longer HR with TMATT questions (30 min); and 3) Technical interview with Chief Pilot including--some basic IFR questions, brief an approach, and additional TMATT questions. The process was straightforward and everyone was very welcoming and...

  8. 8. 

    Interview was in three parts. The first one is like a general get to know you phone call lasting about 15 minutes. The second phone call was the typical HR type of questions such as "are you legally allowed to work in the US. The Third and final part of the interview was over Skype/Teams. HR and the Chief Pilot will be in this call. Scenario based questions, FARs, Approaches, along with some personality questions. Empire is a smaller company, and everyone knows everyone, so they want to...

  9. 9. 

    Three parts to interview process, first was basic HR call to schedule a more in depth HR phone call to get to know me more. This call contained mainly TMAAT questions. Then after the 30min HR call I got an email to schedule the technical interview with chief pilot. This was very laid back, chief pilot is a very nice guy. He mainly asked questions about lost comm procedures with route and altitude, IFR low enroute symbology, briefed an approach plate, and asked about how to enter a published...

  10. 10. 

    First interview was with the recruiter very standard and friendly. Tell me about a time questions. Why empire? Set another more formal phone interview and then was asked more questions about my flying background and personal history. The recruiter emailed me about setting a date for a video interview over teams with the chief pilot. The final interview was straight forward had me brief an approach. Asked me questions about flying my current aircraft. The info on this site is...

  11. Direct communication with people who interviewed.

    It was extremely helpful to not only get a very accurate list of the type of questions being asked in the interviews, but also to gauge how each applicant's experience went. It helps to know what to expect before walking into the interview. And it sure is important to pay it forward and share one's experience.
