  • I was first invited to a phone screen where I was asked about my flight times, medical, etc. followed by a couple HR questions. Why PSA? I answered this with safety culture, good airplanes, and how the "PSA Way" aligns with my personals values. What will you do if you are struggling in training? I explained how I would use extra preparation before sims, utilize group study, and use outside resources such as calling other airlines pilots I know for help. It was a pretty quick phone call and at the end I was invited for the technical, scheduled a week later. The technical interview began with a sheet containing a departure time, arrival time, departure and destination METARs, and a destination TAF. I was asked to decode the...

    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...

    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,...

    First officer based out of KCLT conducted the interview and someone from HR joined in on the interview as well. It was virtual. The FO was very nice and did a really good job conducting the interview and made me feel at ease. Everything from the study guide was asked in the interview, so as long as you study that you will be good. They complimented how professional I looked and how prepared I was for the interview. No trick questions. The FO did not mind rephrasing questions. They started...

    it was straightforward HR interview:( tell me about yourself, why psa, the scenario-based question between you and captain ) After you pass your HR interview, they will send you an email about the date for a technical interview. During a technical interview, they asked about 121 regulations (ex. take-off alternate, flyby, flyover, approach plate, holding speed,...

    The interview started out with reading a METAR at Washington DC and a TAF at Charlotte, both were basic. We then simulated a flight from DC to Charlotte from pushback to landing. The captain asked me what I would consider before taxing and how I would execute the Taxi. He asked me to tell him the TDZE and what the ARP was. We then moved on to the SID leaving DC, I was asked how I would fly the SID and what my top altitude was. The captain also asked me what the purpose of a SID is as well....

    Very similar to the study guide. Start by decoding a TAF and a METAR. Briefed a flight from taxi briefing, departure procedure and take off alternate, briefed an arrival, briefed an ILS approach. Wile going over plates I was asked various chart symbology questions, speed restriction, inop equipment on an ILS. Finally we discussed my airplane (c-172) went over my engine, talked about vx and vy. Pretty relaxed interview, the two pilots were nice and straight forward. Study guide will help a...
