This study guide will most definitely prepare you for the technical interview. Pretty straight forward. Flight from CLT to ASH. Asked to read a METAR and TAF. Be familiar with the remarks section. Asked if we needed takeoff and destination alternates based of the weather. Brief Sid, taxi, and App plate. Asked detailed questions about chart symbology. Holding speeds and length. Asked about hypoxia and to describe a system in the plane you currently fly. Job offer came two days...

Interview split into 2. First was a phone call confirming experience and asking basic HR questions. Why do you want to fly for us, why are you a good fit, etc. Set up a zoom meeting for the technical interview a week and a half later. Technical was extremely straight forward, literally on a slideshow. Decode a Metar, some uncommon items are on there. Jepp Approach, no brief just questions about specifics on it. Same with Arrival, Departure, and Taxiway diagram. Then a couple FAR AIM...

Asked to decode a KAVL metar. The Metar showed 1/8 visibility and asked if we needed a take off alternate. I said it seems like its at the mins, but I would need to see what the take off mins for the airport are and what the approach minimums back in were to give you a solid answer. He said nope, good answer.  Asked to read a taf and see if we need a destination alternate, (we didn't) and he asked how did I know that and I said the tempo line for our eta was 3sm and ovc 2200 so we were...

The flight scenario was from KORD - KDFW I was shown a Metar and TAF for KORD and KDFW, and was asked to read them. The temps were depicted in the negatives, which threw me off for a moment, and also BLSN I was asked if we needed a takeoff alternate, and how I knew that. She brought up the taxi diagram and asked me to brief a taxi route, and asked about hotspots. She brought up the Ohare 8 departure and asked me a few questions about different symbols Asked me to brief the BRDJE5...

The questions were based on material from the designated website. I reviewed METARs and TAFs, and was asked to interpret a TAF and determine whether an alternate airport was required. I was also asked about RVSM flight levels and the electrical system of the aircraft I currently fly. While I wasn't required to brief an approach plate or STAR, the interviewer did ask several questions related to the charts. Overall, the interview was fairly...

I applied cadet program for PSA as a senior because I almost have 1500 Hours. I applied the cadet program when I just got over 1000 hours. If you prepared the cadet interview, those are questions are enough to prepare for everything. Just one thing that I want you guys to say that start to study about Jepp Chart for SID, STAR, airport diagram symbols and ILS LOC approach chart. interviewers's question is pretty straightforward so you guys don't need to worry about it. And study weather...

Study the material they send you, the questions may not be the exact approach, SIDs, STARs, and taxi diagrams that they send, use them to get used to Jepp plates if you aren’t already. If you study the questions here and learn the 121 rules, you’ll be just fine, ask your mentor too to review with you if you have one. Know systems of current airplane as well. Hot spots, ARP, and beacon on taxi...

My senior cadet interview was this month. It was virtual and it was held over Teams. I highly recommend wearing a suit even if it's virtual, making sure the sound and audio is great (they seemed to appreciate this). I went into the virtual meeting room 15 mins earlier than the start time. There was no HR person, just one FO and one CA. They were VERY laid back and they calmed my nerves very quickly. They started with asking a little bit about myself and the typical "Why PSA?". Do...

After applying it took about 4 weeks to receive an email to schedule a phone screening. The phone screening consisted of going over all off my hours, making sure I had a valid passport, FCC, medical, etc and then at the end of the call we scheduled the technical interview for 5 days later. The technical interview was with one FO (or captain I am not sure). He started by going over my hours once more and confirming times, and then asked "Why PSA?" and other technical questions,...
