I was interviewed by two FOs. They did a great job at setting a relaxed atmosphere. A flight from DCA-CLT was the interview. We started off reading the METAR and TAF and deciding if we needed a takeoff alternate and landing alternate. Know your 123 rule and 121 regs for takeoff. Needed both alternates. We moved on to a taxi diagram briefing. They...

The company flies you in the day before. You take hotel shuttle. Next morning you check out 8am and meet in the lobby. 9am the presentation began. There were six of us. I was #4 and the interview took about 45minutes. The study is accurate. The interview is very laid back and they really do want you to succeed. Go over jepp plates, how to find runway length if shooting ILS approach on the jeopardy airport diagram. It was very basic ppl weather questions. Microburst, thunderstorms,... -

Jepp charts metars and microburst. study as much as you can for the briefings and be confident they want everybody they fly down. The approach was Binghamton, New York, and my interview was only 20 minutes. I definitely felt overprepared. The Metar was pretty thorough, be able to tell them every single thing. Prepare for the HR questions by having good responses for any failed checkrides, and driving... -

The gouge is super accurate. Be very familiar with jepp charts and IFR minima for 91 AND 121. I had 2 FOs in my interview and they were actively tallying points for right or wrong answers. I don’t currently have my CMEL so because of that and being under 500hrs, I couldn’t be graded on a few things. But definitely know critical engine and red line/blue... -

Interview was very laid back. Started with brief intro of the company and each individual on the panel. Following introductions they got right into it. We started off with HR questions. (view the study guide of this website). We then got into technical questions. Had a metar for KBGM (LTGCCC AQDRTS HR) this led into weather questions. Make sure you go over the Jepp legend. Concluded with “why... -

Everything that previous interviewees mentioned in this website is accurate. During the day of the interview, they had a quick presentation about Piedmont and we were selected to go in order of who leaves Charlotte first. Interview process was fairly simple, they check your logbook. Make sure you’re good And then they proceeded with HR (Tell me more about yourself, tell me how you handled a dispute in the cockpit, what does CRM mean to you?). In the technical portion, I was asked... -

Everything on the gauge is extremely accurate. Arrived the evening before, took the shuttle to the hotel and attended the presentation the next morning. Interviews were conducted in the order of flights out the next day. Two friendly Piedmont employees asked me a small handful of HR question before moving on to the technical. Mostly weather, translating an extensive METAR and then briefing a Jepp approach/airport diagram. Heard back just over a day... -

Very laid back interview. The questions on this site are spot on. Know your raw metars, Jeppessen charts (approach, airport), be familiar with alternate requirements and be well informed about weather including thunderstorms, fog, TS Anvils and microburst. Speak speak speak. Make sure you are thorough with everything you speak about...the more you are able to elaborate about something the less follow up questions you will receive. Be prepared to speak about everything on an approach... -

Had a nice small group of only 2 interviewees. Study the questions listed here and you will be fine! Know basic weather and ifr procedures/hold entries. Metar was heavy on thunderstorms. Briefed KBGM ILS 16 and airport diagram. Also asked how far can you descend past decision altitude if you have the malsr in sight. And difference between PAPI and A-PAPI. Recruiters were very easy to talk to and want you to... -

They asked a lot of questions about Jeppesen plates and the airport/taxi diagram. Some weather questions were also asked like crazy 3 line METARS with odd codes. Other weather questions were also related to hazardous weather like thunderstorms, a microburst. They wanted to know what were the stages and when a microburst will typically form,...
