Apr 27, 2023 It was a very in depth interview. We did a mock flight from DCA to CLT. We started with a METAR at DCA, I had to decode it. Then we went and briefed a departure. After that we looked and discussed to 10-9a form. After that we looked at an arrival into CLT as well as an airport diagram. Become very familiar with jeppesen, and brush up on instrument knowledge. When do you need a takeoff alternate, landing alternate, things like... Continue reading this interview experience

Apr 26, 2023 Everything you will read here in pretty spot on when it comes to what you should know. First off, the interviewers try to make you feel at ease, in my case a FO and a Captain, and they are very personable and helpful. In my case we started out reading a METAR, so know how to read those efficiently and interpret whether or not you will need an alternate (123 rule). Know about take-off minimums. You might be given an example with a specific time frame that you will have to interpret the 123... Continue reading this interview experience

Apr 26, 2023 Was on a Microsoft Teams meeting with two other pilots who were mentors of the PSA cadet program. They introduced themselves and then asked me to introduce myself briefly. Then we got into the HR questions and there were only about 4 or 5 total. After the HR portion of the interview they told me that's all they had for me and asked if I had any questions for them. At this point you would continue on to your technical interview but I was only doing my HR interview so we stopped... Continue reading this interview experience

Mar 16, 2023 Its like a mini checkride. There were two pilots doing the interview. They were very good at switching the screens to in order to help me every now and then. The first question asked was, can you read this metar? then asked, what's a takeoff alternate. All it is, is determining when you would need an alternate airport before you take off. If the weather is below landing minimums, you will need a takeoff minimum. This is because if the weather is below landing minimums and you just took off...
