I was second to last to be brought into the HR and approach plate in-person section, and it was a lot shorter than I expected. Perhaps that was because it had already been a long day for the interviewers. HR questions were very standard.  HR representative then left and I was with a base chief pilot who showed me an approach plate (KHLN ILS Z 27), and a sheet about the aircraft (cruise altitude, speed, etc), and a METAR/TAF for the arrival. He explained there would be no tricks and then left the room for about three minutes to let me prepare. When he returned I was very surprised I was not asked to actually brief the approach, he simply asked me basic questions about how I would transition from cruise onto the approach. How far out would you descend? Use the rule of 3 and then the given groundspeed. He likes if you can avoid using a calculator, and it's pretty simple math so you should be able to do that.

    This interview was all HR-related questions. They started by asking all of the questions I had answered on the application and over the prescreening call with a member of HR (have you ever been in an accident, has the FAA ever taken action against you, tell me about your checkride failures, etc.). They then moved to discussing my aviation timeline -- have your resume to follow and make sure your dates are correct. After reviewing my timeline, they proceed to the TMAAT questions....

    Just completed my first in person airline interview with Horizon Air. I didn’t get the job. Interview seemed to go fine, but clearly I need to adjust my interview prep/style. 1. Submitted my application early this year. About a week later, received an email, to set up a phone screening (no webcam). During the phone call I was asked “why Horizon” and then questions about my hours. At the time I only have about 350 PIC hours in MEL aircraft and they wanted me to have 500,...

    All questions were ones covered by AviationInterviews. No technical questions in the Experienced First Officer interview, only “tell me a time”. They asked about times I disagreed with policy. Also about a time I disagreed with a crew member. I was asked why Horizon. There seems to always be a question about...
