HR person was busy and left the interview almost immediately. Spent the next 2 hours with the Chief Pilot. Interview was completely relaxed and more like a conversation. Asked a lot of questions, which are listed on this site. Quite a bit of weather, especially METAR abbreviations. Know BR, GR, PL, SN, and most others. Remember if there is a "B" prior to something followed by an "E" prior to something else, it mean Begins and Ends. Know approach plates and the MSA. He...

Interview began by talking with the HR Director regarding my flight experience, TMAAT, etc. and then transitioned to a conversation with the Chief Pilot. This included several technical questions that were essentially discussed in the gouge and a discussion of several systems on the aircraft I'd flown most recently (E175). We also talked at length about the position, expectations, the aircraft, etc. The interview was originally scheduled for 1 hour, but we ended up talking for about 90...

- Started with full intro - Why MAC - What are your greatest strengths? - What are your weaknesses? Then it went to the chief pilot, we chatted for a bit. - Started off w/checkride failures + accident disclosures. - Asked me about VA and it's relationship with weight. - Asked me what I would do if I lost an engine in the SEL plane I'm most familiar with. I rattled off ABCD, but make sure to also have the emergency checklist items memorized from the POH. I did recite a multi engine out...

Since I'm local to the area I was called in for an in-person interview at their Denver HQ. Upon arriving I was met by Hillary who gave me a tour of the facilities before leading me to a conference room. She told me the Chief Pilot was in a meeting that was running late so we chatted for about ten minutes before the CP joined us. Right off the bat everyone was very friendly and accommodating, they take pride in being open and honest and treating everyone like family. We started with the HR...

I did my interview through zoom, I was received by Pete de Chief. Interview was straight forward, as a couple of questions about weather checkride failures multi engine operations and a quick brief on what to expect on the job. I did fail some question but honesty is the best policy, if you don’t know something be honest and admit it. IFR IAP questions were also asked. But nothing out of the...

Interviewed with the Chief and HR. Very friendly, intelligent and knowledgeable as I’ve found everyone I’ve interacted with at MAC to be. Standard HR questions, basic aircraft systems and instrument questions. Much more of a get to know you sort of interview than a grill session. Got good tips on career progression and things to study, and the feeling that MAC wants to develop pilots and not just hire...

Online interview (MS Teams) with Hilary and Chief Pilot. Laid back get to know you type conversation for the first 20-25 minutes.

After the HR portion with Hilary, spent the next 2 & 1/2 hours with the Chief Pilot. I was asked 9-10 questions about IFR flying, airplane systems, CRM/TEM, airport you are en route to closes, etc. The...

Virtual interview. All questions HR already published. Excellent resource. Chief Pilot - Pete - asked limitations and memory items on my current airplane. He had them in front of him. Can’t make them up. It was all preceded by an informal conversation. He seems to monitor the HR portion. Study published tech...
