The two interviewers were very nice and I think that helped me to be calm quite a bit in my interview. After the pilot interviewer came back they both asked about 3 TMAAT questions each. They didn't really ask anything I could not think of an answer to accept for a question that was out of my range of experience, the pilot interviewer was very understanding of this and moved on to a different question. As long as you have a lot of different scenarios you can call on for the questions on the site you should be fine. I did have to think of a couple answers to questions that caught me a little off guard but I was able to answer the majority with answers I was planning on using. After the TMAAT portion of the interview we took about a 10 minute break and...

    Interview was as described in United interview packet and questions on this sight. Tell me about your aviation experience from the start until today. (view the study guide of this website).  Donâ??t prepare for specific TMAAT stories, just collect a variety of stories including emergencies, coworker conflicts, misunderstandings, ect. The only odd TMAAT question was â??TMAAT you took a risk in your career?â?? Just be positive and make sure youâ??re stories show you in a good light...

Interview conducted of two parts; 5 TMAAT Questions followed by a short break and the technical portion. Technical was very close to questions discussed here. Found out the following Monday. You've got...

    I had a really good experience overall during the interview. Everyone there was extremely nice and welcoming, which helped calm some of the nerves. The facility itself was very impressive and it was cool to be there in person. The environment can definitely feel intimidating at first because of how important the interview is and who youâ??re talking to, but once things get started it becomes much more conversational. My biggest takeaway is to just be yourself and stay genuine throughout the...

An HR rep and pilot rep. They took turns answering questions. 5 TMAAT questions, then technical. Technical was very simple and straightforward. Debriefed using the wall aid. Got the offer the next...

    Overall straight forward they send you the information ahead of time. I had an HR person and a FO pilot interview me. They asked 5 TMAAT and then later a technical portion Tell me about a time you used collaborative thinking with your crew? (view the study guide of this website).  Then the technical portion was not bad. Just DEN to SFO what kind of threats are you thinking of (new FO and wind shear) Climbing out its bumpy what would you do? (Tell fa to stay seated) In cruise you get a...

    I did the Aviate interview while in the regional airlines. I applied in spring, and was invited to interview last month. They asked for documents to be uploaded electronically beforehand. They did the logbook review in person while you take a tour of the facility. For the actual interview, it was done by a pilot and an HR person. There were 5 TMAAT questions, a break, then technical questions about a flight. Memorize your briefing points from the packet they give. Great experience, they were...

    It was great experience very relaxed. Study the information from here. Make sure you have the TMAAT down. They truly want to know the real you so be yourself. A pilot will come and get you and introduce you to your HR person. They will ask you tell them about yourself then ask 5 TMAAT questions. After that you'll take a 15 min break and come back for the technical. You may get a pilot who fly your type plane so make sure you're caught up on systems knowledge. I had Den to IAD new first...

    It was a relatively laid back experience. We started with a tour of the facility and a little about the United history. Then we were brought into a room and we discussed how the interview would go and when we would hear back results. We were all military guys, myself for Aviate and 2 UMPP guys. The questions were pretty much basic 121 things.  The big thing was I briefed the departure and taxi and threats and knocked out most of the questions they were going to ask. We reviewed a STAR...

    Interview was pretty straight forward, pretty much exactly how described in the previous reviews and study guide was pretty spot on. The tour before hand was very interesting and tons of people said good luck! A lot more basic than I had thought it would be. I was mostly preparing to answer multi engine questions and talk about that sort of thing and act like a flight instructor however most of the questions asked were pretty basic and simple instrument questions regarding legality of...

    The interview was as expected based on the submissions from others. I was greeted by a security guard before I got into the building who wished me luck. I was the first to arrive of my group and got there about 1:30 early. We were told to wait in the cafeteria and wished luck by a lot of pilots. The pilot giving the tour took us back about a half an hour early since everyone for the time slot was present. After the tour, the pilot answered any questions we had as we waited for our...
