  • Since I'm local to the area I was called in for an in-person interview at their Denver HQ. Upon arriving I was met by Hillary who gave me a tour of the facilities before leading me to a conference room. She told me the Chief Pilot was in a meeting that was running late so we chatted for about ten minutes before the CP joined us. Right off the bat everyone was very friendly and accommodating, they take pride in being open and honest and treating everyone like family. We started with the HR portion of...

    I did my interview through zoom, I was received by Pete de Chief. Interview was straight forward, as a couple of questions about weather checkride failures multi engine operations and a quick brief on what to expect on the job. I did fail some question but honesty is the best policy, if you don’t know something be honest and admit it. IFR IAP questions were also asked. But nothing out of the...

    Interviewed with the Chief and HR. Very friendly, intelligent and knowledgeable as I’ve found everyone I’ve interacted with at MAC to be. Standard HR questions, basic aircraft systems and instrument questions. Much more of a get to know you sort of interview than a grill session. Got good tips on career progression and things to study, and the feeling that MAC wants to develop pilots and not just hire...

    Interview was an hour long. With Hilary from HR who I had met before at an event, and the Chief Pilot Pete. It was very relaxed and friendly, we chatted quite a bit and they answered about as many questions as they asked me. HR asked about my intro how I got into aviation. Asked about checkride failures and that standard stuff. And only one TMAAT about delivering exceptional customer service. That’s it for HR. Chief Pilot asked what makes a great Captain, and asked about my strengths...
