I was flown out to CLT the day before the interview. A hotel room near the airport was provided by the airline. The day of the interview, one other candidate and myself met in the conference room for a 30-45 minute company presentation. After this, we were called in one by one for the HR and technical portion of the... Continue Reading this Interview Experience

  1. Feb 28, 2023 I was flown out to CLT the day before the interview. A hotel room near the airport was provided by the airline. The day of the interview, one other candidate and myself met in the conference room for a 30-45 minute company presentation. After this, we were called in one by one for the HR and technical portion of the interview. The HR portion lasted about 15 minutes and included questions about how I got into aviation, questions about things I've learned from previous instructors that I teach...

  2. Dec 27, 2022 My interview was virtual due to it being close to the holidays. The process started out with an hour long introductory presentation of the company. Afterwards, the Teams meeting ended, and I joined another session for my one on one interview. They started off with HR questions. (view the study guide of this website). The key here is to be as genuine as possible and just be yourself. They asked numerous questions.  Afterwards, they tell you they will move into the technical portion. They...

  4. Nov 09, 2022 Followed the same format as other interviews described. Was a mix of HR and Technical questions. They had me brief a jepp approach plate and airport diagram. They asked basic FARs and IFR symbology. Asked about CRM and how I would use it. Interview was about 30 - 45 mins but felt... Continue reading this interview experience

  5. Oct 25, 2022 I had a great overall interview experience. My recommendation is to arrive a little early so that the interviewers can go through and start organizing your documents before the the main group presentation starts. After the group presentation, we were told to wait in another room until it was our turn to interview. The interview takes about an hour, and there were 6 of us. So be prepared to wait awhile if you're the last one called in. Know your METARS, Jeppesen approach plates, and taxi... Continue reading this interview experience

  6. Oct 18, 2022 The interview was very much like some others have described on here. They do a great job of making you feel comfortable and ready for the interview. I would make sure you are proficient on instrument knowledge, alternate req, fuel req, very difficult metars with CCCGIC, TSRA, GR, P0001, etc. TAF, and Jepp plate IAP and Airport...

  7. Oct 12, 2022 Every other review here is accurate. Be very familiar with jeppesen charts. They will be understanding and guide you. Had a company presentation then individual interview. Both recruiters ver helpful and welcoming. HR portion, situational questions then technical. They are not offering flight benefits to cadets at this time however you receive 60,000 AAdvantage program miles. You can use them for flights but... Continue reading this interview experience

  8. Oct 12, 2022 The interview went super smooth. I flew in from Atlanta. Stayed in the hotel. Reviewed the gouge on here starting 10 days prior. Relearned/reremembered specific details on how a thunderstorm forms, microburst and wind shear details. 4 types of fog. I use DOD plates mainly so I had to learn Jeppesen plates. I studied for that. I also looked at the Jeppesen guide - they asked me about the symbols for lighted wind socks, displaced thresehold, EMAS, and the tallest obstacle in the plan view....

  9. Oct 11, 2022 Study questions on this site are accurate. Recruiting team members were great. Both interviewers were from recruiting, and conducted both HR and technical parts of the interview. The usual HR questions, 2 strengths, 1 weakness, tell me about your avaition journey. For the technical we talked about Thunderstorms, Micro bursts, icing, briefed the approach plate KBGM, taxi diagram symbols, and a very difficult Metar. It had just about everything on it. Interviews go in order of flights home.... Continue reading this interview experience

  10. Oct 07, 2022 If you follow the study guide you will have nothing to worry about. Very friendly panel of 2 recruits. Allentown ILS 16, microburst, T-Storms and a complex METAR. Only thing I messed up on was what the purpose of the VDP. They were cool about it. Heard back next day for the... Continue reading this interview experience

    The study guides were spot on. I would’ve definitely been less prepared without it.
