Interview was split up between a cognitive test and an interview team, both were retired majors pilots. Interview was straight off the study guide they give you. A few scenario based questions and tmaat...

I have had my application submitted with Sun Country since May  (availability originally Nov, has since slid). I have met with them 4 times at different conferences and talked with the hiring team over that time. The most recent conference i handed in my resume again and they remembered me from last year. About a week after the conference i received an invite for interview. The interview was fantastic, and very professional. The team at Sun Country is awesome. You check in at 0745 to...

Super welcoming environment with the classic MN midwest hospitality. Everyone liked everyone it was awesome to see. A lot of people came to chat including the DO. 1 other person interviewed with me. Started with fingerprints, photo, Sun Country welcome pitch & history. Moved into the Cog test first. Lots of small tests, luminosity was a big help in preparing. Had you memorize a list of numbers up to 8 long and repeat them forwards and back. Some had you click the word if it matched it's...

Very nice HR folks greeted us and gave us a overview, only 3 of us interviewed that day. We took turns interviewing while the other did the cognitive test. Very friendly and straightforward interview, the study guide is accurate. They asked what my study style was and how I have applied it to my recent training. Talked about failures in the past and how I've overcome them. HR folks said they are still planning to hire this year....

Recruiting call and interview offer beginning of this year.. The call is very laid back with Julie and Michaela. They started out with their backgrounds and then asked me to â??tell us a little about yourselfâ?. I worked in a little â??why Sun Countryâ? and by the end of my story, they offered me an interview with a few date/time choices. Interview: next month. Travel plans and a basic study guide provided by Sun Country was sent out soon after I accepted the interview. My interview...

The interview process aligned very closely with the previously shared experiences. My interview slot was at 12:00, so I started with the cognitive test. People often say you canâ??t study for the cognitive test, but I found that Luminosity and the Cut-E practice tests were fairly similar and at least gave a good idea of what to expect. The interview itself was very relaxed and lasted about 35â??40 minutes. All of the questions they asked came directly from the study guide they provide, as...

My interview experience with Sun Country was very laid back and welcoming. The day started with the team collecting our documents while I had a chance to talk with the other applicants, there were only three of us, which made the atmosphere feel relaxed and personal. After that, we were brought into a room for introductions and a brief discussion about the company. One applicant was then taken to interview, another went to complete the cognitive (Cog) test, and the third waited. The...

Very enjoyable experience. Sun Country paid for a hotel, a ticket to the interview on Delta from my home of record, and offered me 4 uber vouchers to get around town once I got to Minneapolis. Interview was divided into two portions: A cognitive screening and an in person interview conducted by 2 retired (non-Sun Country) pilots. I arrived to their headquarters building the morning of the interview with one other pilot. After checking in at the front desk my picture was taken for a temporary...

Awesome experience. Was asked to come early since they had openings. Started with HR/technical interview. Asked about my experience and failures. Then asked what type of pilot they are looking to hire. Asked what qualities make a good captain. Discussed leadership styles and what makes a good mentor. Then with the technical interview was asked what is needed to accept a visual approach without the airport in sight (previous aircraft in sight). Asked about hold entries. Was asked to brief a...
