  • 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...

    This was just the HR interview. It was very easy and was more of a conversation than anything. The study guide had the questions I was asked. There was only really one challenge question. (view the study guide of this website) If you prepare beforehand and give a logical answer, you will be...

    A crew did the HR and tech interview. Very pleasant and cordial. They help you get through the interview and make it easy. My mentor at PSA was a huge help as he took the time to prep me and this site was also a big help. Worth the money many times over. Questions were exactly as you see them on this...

    Very relaxed interview with two FOS. Rapid fire questions at first, they were directly off the study guide from this website. Got through quickly, then it was decoding a METAR. I got tripped up a bit with the RVR varying in the METAR, so just make sure you can interpret that. Then briefed an approach, a SID and...

    The interview was very good, I would say know your approach plates. You are going to be presented with a METAR and TAF, pay attention.  Be familiar with explaining one system of your aircraft.  For the approaches know what you need to descent and other...

    Was virtually interviewed by two friendly PSA First Officers. The Technical interview was 50 questions on which they quizzed primary on Jepp charts and Metar/TAFs. There was also questions on stability, alternates, required equipment and fuel, along with questions on my current aircraft I fly. Overall very fair and...

    This was the technical interview. There were two FOs. They introduced themselves and then asked me to tell them about myself, then went directly into rapid fire questions. A majority of these questions were from this site.  The questions ranged from PPL to Commercial during the rapid fire. We then moved into the Metar/Taf section. I had to figure out a couple things I hadn't seen before, but they were fairly straight forward. I recommend knowing the exemptions and derived alternate...

    Started off with introductions. Some icebreakers to calm the nerves. 4 or 5 HR questions that were very simple. The last one was what would you do if you had a jump seater talking bad about the captain before the captain got there. then into the technical portion. This lasted about 30 minutes or so. Most of the questions were very easy, almost laughable. If you are a CFII this will be very easy. I highly recommend looking at Jeppesen SID/STARs and approaches. on a SID know the airspeeds you...

    This was the HR interview for the PSA cadet program. After being applied to the program for 2 years, I went to Sun n Fun to speak with recruiters in person. I believe this is what helped me the most in order to get the opportunity to interview. There were two interviewers during this interview - both were current FOs. They were quite friendly and we chatted a bit at the beginning to try to get to know each other. They then asked me 4 questions which are apparently quite common to be asked...

    it was like 7 questions. Finished in like 20 mins. Basic intros, checkride failures, one of the ice breaker questions. I think 2/3 decision-making scenarios. Everything was in the study guide. The interview was super easy over-all. It was with two FOs and they did everything they could to make me comfortable. One of them had a dog on his lap the entire time and it was just a conversation. They gave feedback at the end and described the next steps as...

  11. It provided the questions I was asked in the interview.
