It was first a METAR and TAF specific to a flight from Detroit to Charlotte. Read the METAR, be familiar with how to read an RVR. Know 121.617, 121.619, 121.625 was mentioned, but my interviewers were not as familiar with the exact FAR numbers like I was. Use RVR to decide if we need an alternate for take...

Super great recruitment team. Have a one-hour-long presentation in the morning and then they send everyone to the lobby. There were 9 of us interviewing. They call everyone in two at a time, and each interview was 45 minutes to an hour. HR followed by technical. Be sure to know Microburts, thunderstorms, decoding complicated METARS and TAFs, Jep symbology on airport diagram, and briefing a simple Jep approach plate. They want you to do well.... -

Recruiters were awesome as everyone mentions, they want you to succeed. I was in the lobby by 8am. They brought everyone in for a presentation a little before 9am. The presentation was on the company and some items from the presentation may show up in the interview so be sure to pay attention. Interview was around 45-50 minutes and started with HR questions then went into technical. Study the questions from this site and you’ll be fine. Heavy on weather and Jepp charts. They has me... -

The day starts at 8 AM with a company briefing, and interviews go in order of who has flights out first. It’s a relaxed, friendly vibe—just be yourself. HR questions cover things like why you chose aviation, why Piedmont, what others say about flying with you, and basic CRM/professionalism scenarios. The technical side hits METARs, TAFs, alternate requirements, weather theory (thunderstorms, microbursts), and they go heavy on Jeppesen charts—especially airport diagrams and... -

The day started like everyone else has said. I got there early around 8:15am and there was already some other candidates waiting in the lobby. We sat through the presentation then all waited for our individual interviews. Interview felt like a conversation and they directly told me it is not a check ride if you get something wrong correct yourself. HR questions are on the same topics as the ones on here but not word for word so have your stories ready. I was just honest and winged it. HR... -

The interview experience was spelled exactly as people in the past have mentioned. Showed up in the morning for information about the company. They look through your logbook at that time. All I believe they’re looking for is an accurate number of your total time. If your logbook is digital it must be printed out. From there they started the interview process. Every interview was roughly 30-45 minutes. Every single questions they ask you is in the gouge on this website so I felt well... -

Piedmont is a great company! They paid for my plane ticket and hotel room. I checked out in the morning, and the interview started at 9:00 a.m. They gathered us to sit down for a presentation and after we took a break to get ready for the induvial interviews. I was the first to go with some basic HR questions, definitely know about their company with values and mission, which was about 15 mins. Then onto technical. I decoded a few METARS and then applied the 123 rule. Microburst, anvils,... -

Flew out to CLT the day before the interview. Woke up early and went downstairs for breakfast. Do not confuse the flight attendant interviews for the pilots, there were a lot of people there for flight attendant interviews. Find the pilots. The recruiters were very friendly to start off. Started off with a presentation of Piedmont Airlines. After this we were taken outside and waited for your turn. It all depends on who's flight is scheduled first. They want you to succeed so don't be... -

Be ready to wait for your turn. It's very low threat. The recruiting staff is very friendly and nice. They start you off with an orientation and then send everyone outside and bring you in two at a time. They do the interviews on the opposite side of the room. Starts with some simple HR questions, just be yourself, be confident. They want you to succeed. Practice HR questions, don't neglect them though. Use the STAR method. After that, we moved on to technical questions, study the gouge; it... -

All of us had a talk for about an hour about Piedmont, then all got sent out of the room. I was one of three cadets interviewing, all of the others were for FO positions. They interviewed based on who had the latest plane ride out of there. I was called after about 1.5 hours. Went in, 20 min HR, 20 min tech. No surprises, know your Jepp Symbology more then...
