Southern Air Interview Information

The interview was rather short and pretty relaxed for the most part. It started with an hour presentation over the company that reviewed how it was started, who runs it, company goals/plans, schedules, pay, and benefits. After the presentation was over, they selected interviewees to either go to a room to sit down with HR first or go to a room to sit down with somebody who will ask you technical questions. The HR part was rather simple as they started by running through my resume and asking me questions about it. After that they asked me HR questions that were exclusively on this site. The HR interview was rather simple and fast as it took only about 5 to 10 minutes. The technical portion was a bit longer and was... Continue Reading this Interview Experience

  3. Feb 24, 2023 Interview was pretty straight forward, mostly HR questions. How would you handle a disagreement with another pilot in the air and on the ground? They let you determine the situation so have that in mind before the interview. Also refresh yourself on pilots cafe for basic ifr questions. Nothing is hard or to in depth. When to file an alternate, how to chose an alternate, where is the touchdown zone, and some other basics. Also there’s a question about which brick would you be in a...

  5. The interview was conducted virtually with two chief pilots and one HR person. The interview was laid back and very much a discussion. The HR lady looked over my resume and asked questions straight off of it. The standard HR questions. The chief pilot then began the technical portion. (view the study guide of this website).  Brief airport signs and markings. Brief Jeppesen ILS approach plate. The best advice I can give you is to study the tech panel guide they send you and this...

  6. Very pleasant and professional. All the interviewers had 20+ years with Atlas. Interview was virtual with video and audio. I wore a suit. They supplied me with 2 pages of material to prepare with. METAR/TAF, PROG CHARG, APPROACH PLATE. I studied these in detail for a couple of hours. Some obscure data that has to be looked up. They seem more interested in my resourcefulness in finding answers than my memory. Very practical. Asked some procedures about my current AC. Basic scenario...

  9. I applied back in March, and I was not contacted for an interview until the end of July. Overall, my experience with the interview group at Southern/Atlas was great. I am currently an FO at a regional, but applied in hopes of changing things up a bit. The HR interview was very straight forward, and I don't think I was asked a single question that isn't currently on this site. The tech interview consisted of many questions from the gouge. They will absolutely want you to have a firm knowledge... Continue reading this interview experience
