  • Read Page 1 ... the technical portion was very detailed and tested your on-the-spot knowledge and preparedness. This was the most challenging part of the process. HR Interview: The HR portion was a one-on-one conversation and felt relaxed and professional. Most of the questions came from the study guide, and they focused on personality, decision-making, and your background. One question that everyone seemed to be asked was a scenario involving your captain. My scenario was: “What would you do if your captain wasn’t responding to you and there was an aircraft on the runway?” They were looking for good CRM, communication skills, and judgment. Simulator Evaluation: The sim was done in a G1000 setup, not a traditional six-pack as some have mentioned. You’re given time to get familiar with the sim before the evaluation begins. My flight...

    Tech interview was about 25 minutes, first few minutes was getting to know each other and then went right into talking about the approach plates. What frequency do you use if leaving from a towered airport if the airport is closed, what does descend via mean vs just descend, flyby vs flyover waypoints ect. HR interview was about 30 minutes asking about pay customer experience jobs and past jobs as a pilot. Sim interview was a SID with vectors to an ILS and missed...

Then a bunch of VFR questions. Identify airspace on sectional, cloud clearances, speed limits, equipment and entry requirements. Identify VFR Waypoints and other sectional...

    Technical interview via teams. Started exactly on time. A SID was screen shared and I was asked to copy and read back an IFR clearance, asked about some IFR enroute mileage that was depicted on the SID, brief an approach (include a runway exit plan and missed approach), discussed what I’d need at DH or the MAP in order to land. Asked what a “hotspot” on the taxi diagram meant. Know what you need to descent below DH/DA with only sequenced flashers then the visual cues to...

    The interview was conducted via Teams @ 0900. The interviewer was very professional but personable I wore a suit. The whole thing took about 30-40 minutes. It went fast and was rapid fire. It opened with breaking the ice about explaining who I am and what has lead me here, then right into the technical. She opened with giving me a rather complicated CRAFT (see below for details) be ready to copy those instructions. I did have to ask for the higher altitude, (I felt embarrassed about that)....

    Arrival chart into JFK, how would I fly it? Hard altitudes? MOCA, OROCA, MSA -several ILS approach plates. What are the circling minimums for cat B? -VFR sectional.

C -was asked several questions on VFR...

    Sim was straightforward. They let you fly the sim for a bit to get used to it. You fly the Morristown 7 departure off Rwy 23 and get vectored in for the ILS23 into Morristown. Then you fly the published missed, but they pause the sim and have you talk through how you'd finish flying the rest of the missed. HR portion was straightforward as well. The questions were the same as those on the study guide. There were really no gotchas at...

    The technical interview was very straightforward. You will go over some departure, approach, and airport charts. If you are a CFII, this should be pretty standard. Sim eval was as described in the study guide. HR was short and sweet, just make sure to review the study guide. This job is about customer service, so make sure you have good communication skills and demonstrate...

There was a simulator evaluation and an HR interview/presentation. Simulator evaluation consisted of a SID, ILS and a missed approach procedure. HR interview consisted of 3-4 questions followed by an hour long presentation about the company. I heard back by phone the following Monday that I had a spot reserved for an upcoming...

    Technical: know all symbols on the plates. DP: Know which climb gradient to use if in between values. STAR: what airspeed to be at in hold. Approach: Given a certain visibility and ceiling, can you land part 91, how about 135? HR: What did you do to prepare for this interview? Tell me your most scary moment in aircraft? SIM: KMMU SID & ILS 23 - practice on a sim if you haven't in a while, they are very sensitive Wear a suit. Everyone did, including the...
