    Hands down one of the best interview experiences I have ever had. There was no pressure or intimidation. If you have made it to this point, they want to hire you. The interview was conducted by a retired chief pilot and the head of HR for recruiting. They began by telling me about themselves individually, and then it was my turn. I gave a breakdown of where I grew up, college, and a brief overview of my career up to now (maybe 4-5 mins). Then they would each take a turn asking me different...

    Zoom interview with 1 hr rep and 1 retired Chief Pilot. They do an excellent job of making you feel at ease and comfortable during the interview. The questions started out with HR going first asking questions about resume/work history, and TMAAT questions.  The questions then went to retired Chief pilot asking questions.   Then back to HR for questions about why UPS and what I have found out about UPS that interested me. Back to pilot for technical questions. Know V1 profile,...

    Everything the previous interview reviews listed are spot on. Know v1 cut profile for your current aircraft. Ensure you know TMAAT questions and CRM based scenarios. Very enjoyable interview. They do a great job of making you feel at ease. Interview started early as everyone logged on 10 minutes early. After introductions they will bounce back and forth asking Questions. HR went first and went over what happens if connection fails and if you need to relogin. Next they start with a review of...

    Very similar to previous experiences. Had me explain Swiss Cheese model. Technical portion included a review of charts with "How would you fly this STAR?", How would you fly this holding procedure (entry, max speed, headings, leg lengths)?", "How would you taxi if you exited on this taxiway?". Interview lasted a little over an...

    About a week from when I submitted my application to the phone screening. Phone screening was simple, just TMAY, confirming my experience and flight time, and why UPS? After completing the phone screening, keep checking online for the hogan to pop up on your task list, which for me took about 2-3 days. 3 months after taking the Hogan, I received the interview invite. The interview was over Zoom with an HR rep and a retired UPS Captain. It took about an hour and a half and was very...

    Everything was really spot on from previous interview reports and the questions provided on this website. I was not surprised by anything in the interview so the reports and questions got me well prepared. The interview seemed to be tailored towards my experience, and I was not asked questions that I did not have experience in. My experience started with the email for a resume review over the phone, I feel like it was appreciated that I didn't delay in scheduling the phone call. Treat...

    Nothing new to report here. Very straightforward and easy going. Received phone call from retired UPS Captain who did a phone interview, same questions, going over the resume, availability, and why UPS. Explained the process. Link to Hogan the next day. Upon completion of Hogan, email from flight ops several days later to set up a zoom interview. Zoom interview with UPS Management pilot and HR representative. Very relaxed- they really want to get to know you in a short amount of time....

    It had been two months since I submitted my app until I received the interview invite. The Hogan was completed during this time. The interview included an HR and Flight Ops representative via Zoom. The interview included questions such as: TMAT, you had a conflict, difficult coworker, miscommunicated, when CRM didn't work out so well, any emergencies, what is leadership, CRM, and TEM. I briefed an arrival and discussed a holding scenario with a diversion to an alternate. I also briefed a...

    Panel was Cheryl, and Larry, a retired UPS captain of 34 years over Zoom. I logged on about 20 minutes early and Cheryl and Larry about 10 minutes early. Since we were all there, we started then. It took about an hour and a half total. They asked me questions.  Describe CRM/TEM (I mentioned the swiss cheese model and he brought up a graphic and had me explain the slices of cheese). (view the study guide of this website). How do I prepare for training on a new plane? Brief the LOC 9L at...

    I submitted my app and it took a couple months to get it pulled. Got an email to set up a phone interview. The phone screening interview was about 20 minutes. It went over your resume. Be prepared to answer why UPS 2 days later got the hogan invite. It took about an hour. About 2 days later got an email to schedule an interview. The interviews are Mon- Friday on zoom. The interview took about an hour total. Most the questions on here covered the interview. Know your single engine procedure...

  11. Aviation interviews was a tremendous resource in preparing for my interview. I reviewed all of the past scenarios and questions while adapting them to my experience. There were ZERO surprises on interview day! Its worth every penny!
