  • I was interviewed by a FO and a CAPT who were both very friendly. My technical interview began with the scenario of flying from KDTW to KCLT. I was given a METAR and TAF and asked questions, (view the study guide of this website). I was given the KDTW airport diagram, SID (BAR11 3 DEP), and STAR (PARQR 4 ARR) into KCLT. Given a taxi clearance, I was asked to explain how to taxi from the gate to the runway. I explained how I would navigate to the runway, identifying key points along the way such as hot spots and where clearances to cross runways would be required. I was asked about Jeppesen symbology on the airport diagram such as the location of the airport beacon, airport...

Then we went over metars and weather based questions. After that we went into departure procedures and charts along with scenario based questions. Finally, if you have enough time they will give you a...

    The interview covered all the stuff in the gouge. Study it up and you will do well. The interview was half an hour long and was done with two first officers. They are pilots just like us. They are informative of how you do and let you know what you got wrong as...

    My interview experience was pretty straightforward. The HR and technical interviews were conducted separately, starting with some general questions before moving into weather-related questions. We then went through Jepp charts and discussed different scenarios. The interviewers were friendly, professional, and overall just normal, easy-to-talk-to people. One thing to keep in mind is that they no longer tell you on the spot whether you passed, so youâ??ll have to wait for the follow-up which...

    This was for the HR portion only. PSA splits the interviews up for the cadets. They will do HR first to screen you to get into program, then do technical later after assigning you a mentor. The overall experience was very relaxed and just a conversation. The interviewer basically started by introducing themselves and then asking about my background in aviation and personally. (view the study guide of this website). This led into other small talk in the interview which made the interview feel...

    For the technical interview I was interviewed by a very nice woman from HR. Asked me a couple ice breaker questions and we just spent about 15 minutes literally talking about life lol. Was emailed immediately after that I was a cadet and scheduled my technical interview. The HR interview did not feel like an interview at all. Was very chill. For the technical interview I was interviewed by a captain and F.O. Follow the study guide and hopefully your mentor will help you as well. They pretty...

    Interviewed online HR in July and Technical in August. Took a while to schedule (was accepted in May). HR interview was 30 minutes long and was four questions longâ?? all from the gouge except for one, (view the study guide of this website).  Both times was interviewed by two FOs. Technical was schedule for 1 hr but we took 35-40 min. Technical started with speed run on commercial and systems questions. Really simple and all from hereâ?? they didnâ??t go any follow up questions...

    I went for my technical interview and it was rapid fire instrument questions mostly. Basic questions to start about what you fly, the systems, basic aerodynamic questions and systems questions then it leads into pulling up a Jeppesen plate (SID, STAR and ILS). You interview with two FO's and while they review all your logbooks and certifications, you sit through a presentation then the interviews begin. Overall, it was the most relaxed and friendly interview I have ever...
