Read Page 1 ... times multiple interviewers came out and said to make sure you have all your documents in hand. 3 Parts as has been reported previously Logbook review (make sure your logbooks are in order and you can verify your hours easily. Follow the instructions you receive in the guide they send to you so you have all of the information tabbed as they requested. This made it easy for me when they asked when was my CFII check-ride. When was your commercial check-ride, etc. Each candidate received different scenarios in the SBQ. I can't say anything different than what has already been posted before. Mine seemed to be a bit fast paced but we were playing out a role as if we were in...

Just a great experience. HR portion was first; very relaxed and open conversation. I think I answered a couple questions with my intro and stories. Felt like i was only asked 2-3 TMAAT questions; difficult CA, made a mistake, what is the best quality of a CA (then reworded as top 3). Very conversational. They did their best to make me feel relaxed. Logbook portion very straightforward with small talk SBQ; I found it hard to focus and do my actual tasks/voicing that in pretend land ie,... -

I was B group at 1100. There were 22 candidates in the group. First they will take your logbooks and logbook review form. After that we started with a tour of the training center which lasted about 45 minutes. Next, we went into a hour long briefing with a current captain who talked about company culture, bases, pay, benefits and answered any questions we had. Around 1300 we began the actual interview process. The group gathered in a waiting room where they had snacks and coffee. As we... -

Morning Group. SBQ Very simple and Straightforward. Cracked Windshield resulting in a Slow Depressurization and diversion. They use this to test your technical knowledge, Decision making, crew coordination. There were a lot of people in the morning group. Took a while to get called back for the last 2 interview portions. HR portion was extremely rushed and not very conversational. I was given 60 seconds for my â??TMAYâ?. Then asked numerous questions about strengths weaknesses. Seemed... -

Was part of the PM group. Overall a great experience, everyone was incredibly friendly. 3 part interview as expected. Seems like they are truthfully just looking to gauge your personality and how well youâ??ll be able to work with others. Study the hr questions on here for that portion. My sbq was bad weather quickly moving in with no filed alternate, and a captain that didnâ??t was to listen to any go around callouts. Make sure to include dispatch, atc, flight attendants and passengers in... -

Exactly as described by others. Took the 7am shuttle over from the hotel with about 8 others. Chatted until about 7:45-8 and then company briefing. 3 part interview followed as others have mentioned. HR portion first. Very quick questioning (TMAY, Why SWA, (view the study guide of this website). Logbook next- legal questions, dates of checkrides, date available to start, then just chatted and got to know each other. SBQ was last and was maybe 5 total minutes. Disruptive passenger BWI-DAL.... -

Arrived the day prior and started at the Hotel. Took the 10a shuttle for the pm session. Once everyone checked in and dropped off bags, we got on a bus to tour the LEAD facility. Follow that up with a company presentation. Then back to the lobby area where we were taken one at a time for each of the 3 interview portions. I started with HR/panel. Not as many "interview" questions as I expected. Talked about my background and they interviewed questions throughout that. Asked a lot about... -

Very relaxed. Just be yourself when you check in! Our group had 20 candidates. Part of AM group and had HR, Logbook Review, and SBQ in that order then the tour. HR questions are as studied. TMAY, Why SWA, TMAAT you had a difficult flight, etc. Logbook Review is straightforward. The recruiter asked one questions about TMAAT. SBQ was fuel contamination. Just make sure to include everyone and ask questions. During each portion they usually take notes, donâ??t worry if theyâ??re not making eye... -

Process is exactly like what youâ??ve read here. I was in the AM group, arrived by 0730, check in with email they provided. Given a presentation on the company which lasted about 45 min. Then all taken to a nice waiting room with drinks and snacks that are available to you throughout the day. We were each called back one by one for one of the three portions of the interview (logbook, HR panel review, and SBQ). Not everyone does it in the same order. I did the logbook review first, very...
