Started with why PSA, some small talk. Interviewer was friendly and easy to talk to. Jumped into the technical, as he shared his screen to ask questions. Began with METAR/TAF and went through takeoff alternates and if an alt was required. Takeoff alts segued into 10-9A discussion, what is the different equipment required, can we take off based on taf? Went through airport diagram, STAR, Approach Plate. Very straight forward, no real surprises. Know holding procedures (alts, airspeeds, in...

Straight forward. Captain and FO, FO basically ran it. Know how to read METARs and TAFs including remarks. Know Jepps well. Interview for me was mostly point and tell.

Departure alternates and departing minimums. VMC, critical engine, VX, VY. Super relaxed and they want to see you pass. Only thing I...

Follow the study guide and 121 regs in the study guide. Also study the jepp plates closely and know differences on between jepp and faa charts. Use your mentor if you need to/if you have one. They are there for your help and and a great resource. Study METAR and TAF codes especially rvr and vertical visibility (vv). Study metar-decoder for different airports especially big ones since they have quirky codes. Get ready to explain a system. I explained the fuel system for 30 seconds it was...

The PSA Airlines interview process begins with a short HR screening phone call, typically lasting under 15 minutes. This call is designed to confirm your qualifications, assess your communication skills, and determine if you’re a good cultural fit. One of the key questions to expect is “Why PSA?” You should have a thoughtful, specific answer prepared. At the end of this call, if all goes well, the recruiter will schedule your technical interview. The technical interview is...

First interview is an HR screen phone call. All the questions in the gouge are accurate. Be ready for "Why PSA?" and "What do you look for in a company?" Make sure to have questions ready. HR call is short and sweet (under 15 minutes). During the HR call they schedule the technical interview, which is over Microsoft Teams with a pilot. The technical was straight to the point: 15 minutes of rapid fire IFR questions as seen in the gouge. METAR & TAF (know all the codes,...

First call I got from the recruiter, that was HR questions: phone screening. Went over times. Asked about "why PSA"- talk about safety & the culture & the bases you really like. If you live around the area, express that the bases are local & you love that. Was asked "If you show up to van in the morning after an overnight, you smell alcohol on the CA breath, what would you do". The answer to that would not be to report them right away. First express concern to...

Why do you want to work for PSA? What qualities do you think make a good airline pilot? Pulls up a METAR and asked if I could takeoff. Asked what STARs/SIDS are for. Many questions about Jepp Plates, especially about CLT. Asks about ATP clearances in scenarios pertaining to the STAR. Asked a lot about the Jepp taxi plate. Many questions relating to the ILS 36C for CLT. Then went into general questions about speed restrictions, systems on most recent aircraft flown, thunderstorms, and...

I was contacted by a recruiter last summer for a phone screening, but then hiring was shut down. My recruiter reached back out in February for a phone screening and scheduled the interview for a week later. The interview was with one PSA first officer. He was very nice and laid-back. We went over my logbook time, then we got into the technical portion of the interview. We read a METAR and a TAF. He asked if I needed an alternate for the TAF. We went over a STAR, and went over one instrument...

Very straight forward interview, asked about IFR plates and weather 123 rule. The FOs interviewing me were very friendly and straight forward, no trick questions. We focused on airort taxi diagrams and they asked pretty detailed questions on the various symbols. I think we used DCA or PHL as our departure airport. For arrival we used a CLT approach plate and I got asked various questions about the plate itself, JEPP Charts, as well as ILS and Holding questions. He had me brief the plate as...

My interview process began with an initial phone call and a second interview via teams. I don’t have much experience with interviews, but both recruiters I spoke to during the process were great. I could feel they wanted me to do good. During the initial call I was asked several HR questions along with my aeronautical experience, credentials, background. Attitude is key. Be honest and you will always be right. It is very important to research and learn about PSA mision/vision,...
