  • Read Page 1 ... interviewees (about 16), seemed to come from a mix of backgrounds. There were a few guys who had ACMI time, a couple guys flying for foreign carriers, a few from the regionals, and a few from corporate / charter world. From my interactions.....good guys all around. There are four segments to the day: 1. Compass test 2. HR interview 3. Drug test 4. Paperwork It was random if you were picked to do the Compass or HR test first.

They asked about the schedule and the point of me having no turbine PIC time. End the end, I’m grateful, I was offered the job. The...

    I was asked if I thought the schedule was ok, going to the middle east and getting a Yellow fever vaccine. Answered yes, yes and yes. The assessment test was never brought up. I didn't do very well on the geometry questions and was worried it might affect my chances. Overall it was a brief experience. I haven't been assigned equipment yet but everything points to being on the 74. Study the questions on this site and carefully consider whether or not the type of flying works for you. I told...
