  • 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...

    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...

    The interview was conducted through online meeting. I was greeted by 2 FOs and they were very nice. They started the interview with some HR questions which lasted for about 10 to 15 minutes, followed by technical questions which lasted for 45 minutes. The total time of the interview was 1 hour. Throughout the interview they were very friendly and supportive and did not make me feel nervous at all. The questions they asked were not very different from the study guide given on this website for...

    Phone Screen We had a good conversation. Most questions were legal and eligibility, then one TMAAT when you had a conflict with a Captain. Virtual Interview The FO who was conducting the virtual interview hopped straight into the technical portion. I translated a METAR for Ashville airport. (view the study guide of this website).  He then showed me a TAF and gave me an arrival time. The question was, the dispatcher did not provide an alternate, based on your arrival time, were they...

    Interview was very quick. Asked "why PSA". Was never really asked to introduce myself or my background. Then straight to technical. Shown a TAF. Asked about alternate. Shown taxi diagram and asked questions. Shown a departure and asked a few questions. Asked a few questions on an approach plate. "If lighting is out can what is our new mins?" (read the notes at bottom of the plate). General tech questions after that such as types of icing and holding speeds. Then,...

    Very straight forward interview. Started with a METAR/TAF and decided if we needed a TO alternate and a destination alternate. I had freezing snow and we talked about what to expect with this METAR. Walked through Jepp taxiway diagram (know beacon, ARP, reference point, etc.), Jepp arival and departure, then the ILS 36C into Charlotte. I do not remember the exact departure and arrival, but there were no gotcha questions. Review different clearances "Descend and Maintain ____" on an...

    Why PSA, read and use METAR/TAF in depth including remarks. Determine if we can take off looking at takeoff minimums with full lighting, and if we need alternate at destination using TAF. Asked questions about airport diagram, taxi route (hotspots), SID, STAR, and approach. DCA-CLT. Never had to brief anything. Interview lasted 30...
