I had a great interview experience with Tradewind. HR questions on this website were very accurate to the real thing, and I was very prepared. The technical questions were helpful, but its more scenario-based, and they walk you through a departure from Boston, an approach into White Planes and some en route questions. The sim was the same thing, a departure, an approach to missed and instrument steep...

The interview was professional, conversational, and welcoming. It began with introductions and a discussion of my aviation background, including my flight experience, instructional experience, certificates, ratings, and career goals. The interviewers asked several HR-style questions focused on leadership, decision-making, customer service, handling difficult situations, and why I was interested in the company. The technical portion covered aeronautical knowledge relevant to my experience...

I had a very good experience interviewing with Tradewind. All personnel was very professional and nice. First part was HR, and then the technical IFR questions (like a checkride). The sim evaluation (refer to the study guide here) was nothing crazy, but the sim is VERY sensitive. After that, you meet with the chief for another short...

This website was perfect. Helped me prepare for over 90% of the interview process. Follow the study guide and sim guide for a simple and smooth interview process. The technical section was especially helpful because it gave me a clear idea of the level of knowledge that was expected. I reviewed regulations, weather, aerodynamics, IFR heavy, and scenario based questions that were very similar to what I was asked. The HR section also helped me organize my experiences into clear, concise...

Interview relatively straight forward, the interviewer introduced himself and his background, and then I was asked to introduce myself and report all my hours (30/90/6mo) and credentials (training, checkride fails, etc). A few HR questions, (view the study guide of this website).  Technical portion included about half of the questions from the study guide, a lot of quizzing on whether to fly an approach or not, how approaches are put together, whether it would make sense to divert or...

Interview was very straight forward no gotchas. First when the interview started we went over my flight time the 30, 60, 90 days, and 12 calendar months. Was asked a few HR questions such as tell me about yourself, why SkyWest, and what was your most challenging flight. After that we got into the technical side of the interview, we went over high altitude aerodynamics, talked about systems for the aircraft I currently fly, airport signage, and went really deep into Jeppesen charts. Majority...

3 stage process. Initial interview was just to get to know you and check your hours. Make sure logbook is totaled and organized. 2nd step is technical interview. This was basically an instrument oral exam but was straight forward with no gotcha questions. 3rd was a sim interview where they will have you execute instrument procedures. Study for the last 3 like itâ??s an instrument checkride and you will be fine. They give you time to play around with the sim so just utilize that time wisely...

The initial interview was straight forward, relaxed, with them wanting to get to know you and see if you are a fit to their program. The technical interview was all about your instrument knowledge and being able to correctly read back departure procedures and ILS approach plates. If you are on your game with instruments this should go fairly easy. The sim evaluation was at their headquarters in Oxford Conn. Their sim was somewhat touchy. They gave me only 3 - 5 minutes to practice on it. It...

Interview was straight forward and went like the other gouges on here. Started off with times, HR questions, then went into the technical. High altitude aerodynamics, turbofan engine, instrument procedures, charts, approach lighting system, 91.175, finished with CRM. In the interview, they really want to see your CRM skills. and are looking someone they can sit in the cockpit for multiple legs in a day. Interview lasted about an...
