  • Walked in about 20 min early. Had my picture taken for future badge if hired and was fingerprinted. Once all candidates were there, they brought us to a conference room and gave us a company presentation on what operations they do, what the pay is, benefits, etc. We then were brought to the lunch room to wait for our names to be called to conduct the rest of the interview process. There was a cognitive test and an HR/technical interview with two retired airlines pilots (mine was a retired United pilot and a retired Delta...

    My interview was very similar to the others listed in here. Everyone was laid back and friendly. Just study the study guide questions from both this website and the study guide they send you and youâ??ll do good. They did brain training games for the cog test.  Just try to stay focused throughout the entire thing. Hopefully we get some good news...

    Nothing to study for cognitive test, just memory games. Interview was two ex Delta guys, really nice, relaxed experience. Tell me about yourself, some TMAATs, went through some Jepp charts 'how would you brief this'. Couple technical questions about fuel...

    The interview process was exactly as it has been described online. I arrived 30 minutes early at 7:30 a.m., where they first collected my documents and completed fingerprinting. After that, there was a company presentation. Depending on each candidateâ??s flight departure time, participants rotated between the cognitive assessment and the interview. The cognitive test lasts about 45 minutes. It isnâ??t necessarily difficult, but it does require strong focus and concentration. Overall,...

    Interview experience was very pleasant. 3 of us came in at 7:45am for interviews. After checking and taking out fingerprints and pictures we went to the back for a presentation. After the presentation one of us would go interview, and one would take the cognitive test. The cognitive test is more miserable than anything but not bad. The interview was more conversational than expected, very low stress environment. Just some TMAAT questions and I only got at 3 technical questions. That can vary...

    * Fingerprints and photo at 7:45 AM. * Cognitive assessment that lasts approximately 45 minutes. * Company presentation afterward. This is a great opportunity to ask questions, as the interview panel is often made up of retired captains from other airlines and may focus more on getting to know you than answering detailed company-specific questions. * I was interviewed first because my flight out of MSP departed earlier than the other candidatesâ??. Cognitive Assessment * The assessment...

    Interview day is just as advertised by all other reports before mine. Its held a Sun Country HQ, its conducted small group style (there were three of us that day), finger prints and photo's to start, company presentation, cog screen, interview, then any follow up questions. All of us were on site by 7:45am and we didn't leave until 12:30ish, so get comfortable, bring a snack. Cog screen - 45min , interview - 1hour, so there is some idle time in-between the important parts. Cog screen - no...

    Exactly as described in other write-ups. Spoke to recruitment team at NGPA, then sent monthly follow-up emails. Julie emailed to set up phone screen about 2 months after app submission/NGPA meet and greet. As expected: TMAY, Why Sun Country, Why not Delta. Company paid for travel and hotel. Entire team was extremely kind and welcoming. Interview panel was 2 retired airline pilots plus a retired SCA Line Check Airman (learning how to conduct interviews). Felt like a free-flowing, relaxed...

    Overall process was about three months from submitting my application to hearing back for the phone screening. The phone screen was really easy, just a quick review of your resume and qualifications. From there your application gets scored and you will be invited for an interview if you pass the screening. I was sent a few days to select from for the interview. Interview: Arrived 15 minutes early to complete your paperwork. There are two parts to the interview, cognitive test and the actual...

    Overall an amazing interview experience. Everyone is super nice and welcoming. When you interview in MSP you get the feeling that they really want to hire you and at that point its your CJO to lose. All the gouges on here are very accurate. The actual interview was with a retired United captain and a retired Delta captain. There was a Sun Country captain who just recently retired who was sitting in on the interview just shadowing to see if he wanted to join the interview team. The interview...

    Great experience with Sunny! Extremely welcoming and calming experience. Start with a short HR presentation of the company, then the interview with two retired Delta captains and then a 40 minute cog test on a laptop. Can't really prep for the cog test, its a mix of memorizing numbers, shapes and words, and then testing dexterity of pushing a button with your finger. Not that hard, but I didn't over think it. Interview was very relaxed and unlike any regional interview I've done in the past....
