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...

I was interviewed by two FO's, both of who were very laid back. Started out with basic HR questions, tell me about yourself, scenario was zombies would they be slow or fast. Then just a few more basic questions. We jumped right into stalls, Forward CG characteristic, asked about IFR alternates, IFR equipment. Probably a total of 15-20 questions all from the website. Then we jumped into an approach plate, I struggled with some speed stuff, it was a little more difficult because the size of... -

I interviewed for a cadet/first officer pathway position and overall had a very positive experience. The process was structured, professional, and welcoming from start to finish. Pre-Interview Process: After submitting my application, I received a confirmation email with instructions regarding required documents and the interview format. Communication was clear and timely. I made sure to prepare all requested materials in advance, including logbook totals, certificates, medical, resume... -

Interview went very well with 2 captains, if you finish under 40 minutes with little interruption or re-phrased questions by the person asking questions you are doing well. I was asked about documents for a plane to be legal (ARROW), FWD CG characteristics, the engine in my aircraft, critical angle of attack, taxiway centerline light(green), EMAS, then onto the scenario of a planned flight from KDTW to KCLT. First will be a meter to read followed by a TAF and what considerations are needed... -

Overall about 5 HR questions and closer to 50 technical questions. I studied everything on the study guide and found that to be very helpful. Pretty much every question that was asked in the technical portion was in the study guide. Nobody really fails the HR portion from what they told me but it's possible if you are very shy and give answers that don't make sense. The HR portion is just so they can get to know you. There are no additional questions I can give you but a piece of advice is... -

My interview was split into two partsâ??HR and Technicalâ??which occurred on different days about a month apart. Although my higher flight hours qualified me to complete both on the same day, scheduling constraints required them to be separated. Part 1: HR Interview The HR portion was conducted by two First Officers nearing their upgrade to Captain. Both were second-career pilots, just like me. We began with quick "elevator pitch" introductions before diving into the formal questions. One... -

Interview was straight forward. Started with weather. Reading a TAF/METAR. Then moved onto a flight scenario from taxi out to taxi in. Looked at jepp charts for all phases of flight and asked questions about things on the charts. Also got some basic aerodynamics questions. This included questions about lift, effects of forward and aft cg, etc. Also was asked other questions, (view the study guide of this... -

Pretty much everything on the interview was also in the study guide. Make sure to know required docs, IFR equipment, and the systems of your own aircraft. You will look at a METAR and decode it then determine if takeoff/landing alternates are applicable. Review Jepp SIDS/STARS/APP Plates as you will be asked about certain elements depicted on chart. Overall, they are reviewing your IFR knowledge and then applying it to the 121... -

The team was really great. First asked me general HR questions about my flying experience. My CFI experience, checkride failures, and then asked a couple â??silly questionsâ? to get to know me. Finally they gave me a scenario just to see how my thought process was. Then we jumped in to the technical. It was like a combo of private, commercial and CFI checkride in one. Very scenario based, we covered basic airworthiness, IFR fuel and equipment requirements, inop equipment (know what...
