Interview was a fun experience, you get flown out to a hotel the night prior. Morning of around 8am check out of your room and wait in the lobby. Introductions occurred, and slides on the company. Then afterwards you wait in the lobby to be called. There was about 15 of us. Once you're called you go inside and get straight into the HR portion. Tell me about yourself, and why Piedmont etc. Laminated Metar sheet you read one, or two. MOVD, moved past tense. Apart from that the study sheet and...

Flew into CLT in the evening. There's no food around the hotel, so either eat at the airport or be ready to pay $$ at the hotel restaurant. Breakfast the next morning same thing. Breakfast buffet was $19 for buffet/ coffee. My keurig had visible nastiness inside so I had to get the lobby coffee. They did have coffee and pastries in the briefing room and had lunch delivered but I was done before it came. Got to the airport after my interview and got my flight moved up to an earlier time at...

Everything on the study guide was pretty much on the interview except a couple SBQ's but it was very straight forward. I flew in the night before and interview was 9AM. The guys that I interviewed were all downstairs by 830 and we waited in the lobby to get called in. They called us in the conference room and did a short presentation about the company and then on to interviews, also collected logbooks at this time. Interviews were in order of flights out. They were conducted by two of the...

I flew to KCLT a day prior; as soon as I exited the airport through the first door on the left, I found that the hotel shuttle bus had just arrived in the designated area. The driver dropped me off first at my hotel, then went to drop off other passengers at a nearby hotel. I award 5 stars to the hotel itself, the hotel staff, and whoever is cleaning the rooms (you can tip them via a tip QR code in your room). There was no room service menu in the room, and they did not answer the phone, so...

Getting to the interview was easy. They pay for your ticket and hotel room. The morning of the interview you will meet at a table downstairs in the lobby. Then on of the recruiting people will come grab every one and take you to a conference room that has food and refreshments. Then they will take your log books and talk about the company and what the cadet program is all about and answer any questions you have. Highly recommend taking notes during the slides they might be some questions...

If you made it to CLT, they want to hire you. Make sure to pay attention to the presentation in the beginning. Study the the Jepp chart users guide (its free). Briefed KBGM ILS 16, and 10-9. Know VGSI not coincident, offset loc, highest obstacle, lighted wind sock, arp, A-PAPI, 91.175, wx below mins before or after FAF, EMAS, kinds of approach lighting, MSA. HR was everything on here, but also asked how I handle...

As they said several times getting to the interview is the hard part. There was a healthy mix of people interviewing in terms of experience level and qualifications. The interview gouge here is pretty accurate. Know your Jepp symbology, microburst, decode some long METARs (that was actually my favorite part!), alternate requirements, why Piedmont, etc. I'm pretty sure everyone who was in my cadet interview group received an offer, but give it the proper respect (there were also a few...

Everything is just as explained in other posts. It seems a little too good to be true that it can be this straightforward, but it really is that simple. When you get there you will give your logbook and passport and they will start auditing them. Quick 15-20 minute presentation and then they start pulling people in two at a time. 20 mins HR, 20 mins technical. HR is just basic “tell me about yourself, why Piedmont”. If you’re a CFI they’ll ask about that, tell me...

The interview process was pretty laid-back. It was a mix of FO and cadet program interviews. There were two recruiters interviewing. The whole thing took about an hour. First half was HR, second half was technical. The study guide covered everything I needed, so I felt well-prepared. Make sure you know your Jepp chart symbology. They hand you a printed chart, so no need to buy Jepps ahead of time. Also be solid on weather and lost comm...

Everyone very friendly as mentioned! Be ready to go in the lobby at 8am. Short presentation about the company, pay attention to aircraft info and company history as it may appear on the interview. Interview was about 45 mins. Hr questions entailing decision making, and other questions. (view the study guide of this website).  Technical portion involving decoding a lengthy metar, wx theory, alternate requirements, fuel, ILS 16 KRIC briefing and asking questions about jepp symbology. VGSI...
