It was very relaxed, I had rehearsed my responses, and kept each response to about 3-5 min and they seemed very happy with that.  (view the study guide of this website).  Following the HR portion, we took a short break, I left the room to the aforementioned classroom, then was brought back in about 30 min later where the technical portion was covered. The technical portion was short, about 30 min. MEMORIZE THE PACKET the UMPP gives you when selected for an interview. They’ll ask you what you would brief on a departure briefing. RECITE THE PACKET. Make sure you talk about bringing in the other crew members’ perspectives throughout your technical. I was then...

    As I got there, I was sent to the cafeteria. People were passing by and wishing good luck, at the scheduled time, an HR representative came for us, oriented us to leave our logbooks at a table and took us on a brief tour of the United museum. Then we were sent to a room to wait for our interviewers. I was with a very nice and gentle pilot, we introduced and went to the interview room. They made sure to make me feel comfortable, and offered to take my jacket off. We started with the...

    Great experience overall. This site is accurate.  It was only about 90 minutes with an HR person and a pilot. 5 minute tell us about yourself, then TMAAT, then the technical portion, then 5 minutes for why United. Super nice people. Took a break in the middle. Make sure to memorize the 13 briefing parts they send you. You will brief them in that...

    HR first then technical. Intro, 5 TMAAT questions followed by a 5 minute break. TMAAT questions are apparently tailored to your Hogan assessment results. Technical was ORD to EWR with PHL as an alternate. I was given the departure weather and was asked to do a departure briefing using the 13 briefing items provided in the briefing packet. Couple questions on the SID like what does climb via mean, what's the highest threat, etc. Once enroute I got master caution light for Fuel Bypass Filter...

    CJO for the SkyWest PP. The format was introductions followed by yes/no HR questions, TMAAT, then technical.  TMAAT felt well prepared for that portion. I should’ve prepared more for the technical but only had a couple weeks between the invite and the interview. Heavily relied and ultimately benefited from my military flying background. We went through a flight start to finish with a minor maintenance issue and then a diversion for deteriorating weather at the planned destination....

    My experience was very similar to others. We were brought into the cafeteria to wait until someone came to get us and took us on a tour. After that, we were taken one by one for the interview. Started with the HR questions (5 TMAAT), which were all mostly pretty straightforward and all listed on the site. Then took a 5-minute break and did the technical; most of it was pretty straightforward. Didn't feel like they were trying to ask gotcha questions but more so follow-up questions. Presented...

    Got to the FTC an hour before my interview and walked around with a captain who gave us a tour and talked about United's plans. He took us to a room and briefed us on what to expect for the interview. My pilot interviewer greeted me shortly after that and took me to a room with someone from HR. Started off with "tell me about yourself" next it was about 4-5 TMAAT questions. (view the study guide of this website).  Use the STAR format and be specific with your stories. Always...

    UMPP interview for next fall availability. Stayed at hotel across the street and caught shuttle at 0830 for 1000 interview. Signed in and dropped bags, waited in cafeteria until 10 and was greeted by a CA who walked us thru the mini museum and briefed the interview format. We were then led to a classroom and waited for our pilot interviewer to grab us individually. My interviewer came to get me and I dropped my phone/smartwatch on a table. Went to a room where the HR rep was sitting inside...

    They'll provide a voucher for your round trip flight to Denver. Hotel is on your dime. I recommend staying at the Hotel right across the street from the training center. It'll have a shuttle every hour and half hour to the training center, but worst case it might be a 10-ish minute walk. The welcome letter's map is oriented south because that's where you enter the grounds. After that it's easy to understand. Checked in with security, put luggage in the luggage room, sat in the cafeteria...

    My interview was nearly identical to other's experiences with United posted previously. My interview was scheduled for 0800, and I was told to show one hour prior. I stayed at the hotel (I'd recommend staying here if possible) and took the complimentary shuttle at 0630 (shuttle departs to United training facility every half hour). After checking in with the front desk and dropping off our luggage in a small storage area, the other interviewees and I waited in the cafeteria until a United...

    Stayed at the hotel across the street. Caught the 6:30am shuttle for an 8am interview. Got signed in and sat in the cafeteria for a bit. 3x UMPP there during that time slot. Pam 24yr 757/767 Capt out of Houston came and got us a bit after 7 for the tour and what to expect. As others have said, everyone was very friendly and welcoming. They want you to be there and they want you to succeed. We dropped off paperwork and logbooks and then waited for a bit to be called back. Chris, Newark FO...
