  • The Contour Airlines interviewing process consists of 2 interviews, initial is mostly an HR interview with a couple of technical questions at the end and then if you get selected for a second interview you will go on to a “technical interview” with the chief pilot. I only experienced round one of the interviewing process and was later told they were moving forward with more qualified applicants and was not selected for the next interview. The interview started with an explanation of Contour, what it is like, and what their operations consists of. Next he asked a couple of yes or no type questions regarding eligibility for the job. Then he attempted to start some brief conversation to try to get to know me a bit. Sharing about yourself and being personable is important to them. Next we led into a couple of tell me about a time questions, one...

    Interview with Brandon was super easy. He talks to you about the company, days off/on, pay, etc. He then asked me questions, (view the study guide of this website). With Greg I was asked about things concerning Class D airports. Icing questions. Was asked if we needed an alternate for a certain airport. He then moved onto a departure procedure and asked me what was specific to runway 15L concerning the feet per nm to feet per min so he asked me how I would convert that. He then asked me to...

    I completed my interview with Contour yesterday. Greg was great to talk with during this interview. He was direct with his questions and to the point, allowing you to answer in any fashion or take as long as needed. Greg seemed to allow me to answer (whether right or wrong) without giving a yes or no to whether I got the question right. The interview material itself was not too complex, but definitely requires some preparation prior to the interview. I recommend reviewing the general 91/135...

    Greg was very easy going on the technical interview and got straight to the point. We started off with some scenario questions regarding the conditions I would be flying in. He asked many questions about icing.  We then moved on to talking about fwd + Aft CG and what is better when within the CG limits of the aircraft. Then we moved on to talking about multi engine aircraft’s and it was specific to the plane in which I reviewed my rating in. He asked me to give him a pretakeoff...

    The interview was right out of this guide. First interview with Brandon was mostly HR type questions and conversation with a few technical questions. We talked about contract, schedule, logistics etc. near the last 15/20 minutes. The technical interview was very in depth, mostly covered by the guide. Recommend having a deep understanding of jet & IFR...

    CPT Greg is awesome. No pressure environment and he will let you get it wrong, then not say anything. He's been doing this long enough to know that if he "catches" you, it could rattle you and become a slippery slope. I caught myself with a wrong answer, then corrected minutes later. He laughed and said, 'Very Good!" Started with technical questions, (view the study guide of this website).,  BEST OF WISHES FOLKS! LETS GET THESE...
