  • Just completed my first in person airline interview with Horizon Air. I didn’t get the job. Interview seemed to go fine, but clearly I need to adjust my interview prep/style. 1. Submitted my application early this year. About a week later, received an email, to set up a phone screening (no webcam). During the phone call I was asked “why Horizon” and then questions about my hours. At the time I only have about 350 PIC hours in MEL aircraft and they wanted me to have 500, they said call us back when you hit 500 PIC MEL. 2. Hit my 500 hours a few months later, I emailed the HR rep and didn’t hear anything for a month. Finally got a response to reapply. 3. I resubmitted and got another phone screening email a few days later, said they would like to conduct the interview this week. They setup the flight and hotel and provided instructions of how to get picked up by the shuttle. 4. AviationInterviews had the most accurate gouge that reflected the interview, so I recommend that. There was zero technical questions asked, which is what the airline interview gouge suggested as well. 5. Very little documents requested from them. Just your logbooks with tabs for your check-rides, pilots license, fcc radio permit, passport, and any LORs. 6. I arrived at 840 am for a 0900 showtime. Three...
