    interview went from 2:30 to 6:00 pm HR was about 30 minutes. I think Pete the chief watched that and i answered most of his questions on that. Airplane portion was mostly what would you do.. a lot of its on the gouge but he will ask until he can teach you something so donâ??t take it personally. He just wants to see your depth of knowledge and how youâ??re willing to learn. I also think heâ??s looking to see if you can show him something. He asked me whatâ??s the worst place a pilot can...

    The gouge and study guide questions on this site were extremely helpful.  Questions I got stuck on were "what is a pendulous vane" and "what SOP at your previous company would you change.  Kathy and Peter were extremely friendly, I'm excited for this opportunity. Best of luck to all you out...

    Was a roughly hour long interview, starting with the "tell me about yourself" and other HR style questions. Then was on with the chief pilot and that included questions about METAR weather codes (know those!), questions about my current aircraft I am flying, tell me about a time you had to break from current employer's SOPs and...

    HR person was busy and left the interview almost immediately. Spent the next 2 hours with the Chief Pilot. Interview was completely relaxed and more like a conversation. Asked a lot of questions, which are listed on this site. Quite a bit of weather, especially METAR abbreviations. Know BR, GR, PL, SN, and most others. Remember if there is a "B" prior to something followed by an "E" prior to something else, it mean Begins and Ends. Know approach plates and the MSA. He...

    Interview began by talking with the HR Director regarding my flight experience, TMAAT, etc. and then transitioned to a conversation with the Chief Pilot. This included several technical questions that were essentially discussed in the gouge and a discussion of several systems on the aircraft I'd flown most recently (E175). We also talked at length about the position, expectations, the aircraft, etc. The interview was originally scheduled for 1 hour, but we ended up talking for about 90...

  7. 7. 

    - Started with full intro - Why MAC - What are your greatest strengths? - What are your weaknesses? Then it went to the chief pilot, we chatted for a bit. - Started off w/checkride failures + accident disclosures. - Asked me about VA and it's relationship with weight. - Asked me what I would do if I lost an engine in the SEL plane I'm most familiar with. I rattled off ABCD, but make sure to also have the emergency checklist items memorized from the POH. I did recite a multi engine out...

    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...

    Everything was smooth, not so much as a grill session, but was more like a get to know you better type of interview. Pete was very friendly and condescending with the questions. Overall a great...

  10. 10. 

    Interview was with Peter and Hilary. HR with Hilary was half and hour similar questions as in the gauge. Peter was nice asked technical questions about most recent aircraft flown. Overall its a non pressure interview. Hoping to get hired but was told there are allot of people getting interviewed due to the industry many pilot with more hours looking for...

  11. I got valuable information for the interview.
