The interview was an HR interview only for initial entry into the Cadet program. It started right on time with an FO and Captain. They discussed my resume and introduced themselves. There was some back and forth chit chat during this time and once they had gone over their backgrounds they asked me to tell them about my self outside of the resume. I gave them my story of what led me to join the military and my career history and what led me to flying. Once that was over they asked if I had any...

I felt well prepared for the interview! The study material given prior to the interview is a great resource to use. Highly recommend utilizing the study guide questions here as well! Study the charts they send you especially the altitude and airspeed requirements on SID/STAR. I also reviewed supplemental oxygen requirements, hypoxia, and different types of... -

I had one first officer based out of DCA and a captain based out of CLT. The first officer conducted 99% of the questions during the interview. The interview began with a basic introduction from the first officer, the captain, and then myself. After that, the first officer explained the technical portion and dove right in. Additionally, When do you need an alternate take-off airport? Recommend studying the Jep chart for CLT and DCA (also the ones in the... -

We talked about the 4 types of hypoxia, squawk codes, what freq is guard and what it's used for, VMC and what its represented by on the airspeed indicator, asked me about the heater on the PA44, the engines on the PA44, asked one question related to oxygen requirements, Vx and Vy, types of icing and which one is the worst. Make sure you know how to read a metar and a taf (it's not that hard, ppl 101), know your instrument rules, and follow the study guide here and you will do... -

Interview took place over Microsoft Teams with two FO’s based out of CLT. Both were friendly and relaxed during the HR portion which only lasted about 10 minutes. Most of the questions were just geared around getting to know you on a personal level. Finding out if your personality would be a fit inside of the flight deck. (Tip: any questions asked about handling interactions between crew members. Answer attempting to resolve yourself, this will earn you respect.) Not much pause... -

The interview started with a brief introduction from an older gentleman based out of DC, he asked my preferred name and then jumped straight into technical questions. He started with asking me to decode a METAR and TAF from KDCA and KCLT, after reading the full TAF and METAR he then asked if I needed an alternate, in this case, I did because the ceiling was under 2000. He then asked if there were any other considerations I should make based on the weather, I said a wet runway because there... -

I already did the HR interview so this interview as all technical. The flight was DCA to CLT. Started with the DCA airport diagram and then into the SCRAM 6 departure. Next was the CHSLY 6 arrival. They then routed me around to come in from the south. During this whole process they are asking you about altitudes at certain points and descend via/descend and maintain clearances. Study the jeppesen approach charts closely this is where they got very... -

Outstanding experience. As long as you are proficient in what was outlined in this study guide you will be fine. I was welcomed by two First Officers who were very friendly off the bat and made it clear that they did not expect perfection. The HR portion was 10 minutes and the technical portion was maybe 25-30. Practice reading uncoded METARs and know obscure codes and learn how to read Jepp... -

I had to decode a METAR, brief an SID (and whether a departure alternate was req’d and why), then brief a STAR, and an ILS approach, pretty good emphasis on RVR and what you need to have to descend below minimums. Holding procedures and considerations (fuel, passengers). Aeromedical (one type of hypoxia). Brief one system on the plane I fly….. Very straightforward forward but also very thorough. It wasn’t a “throw away” interview. It was a video conference... -

The interview guide was dead on! Know every detail about the interview prep docs they send to you… they’ll give you different charts for different airports, but have a friend quiz you on different things from every chart. Don’t assume you know anything until someone asks you and you are able to answer. Interview was straightforward and fair. Only... -

The interviewers started with some HR questions (all listed in this study guide). Questions included things like disrespectful jumpseaters talking poorly about the captain, something you would do for the aviation industry with infinite resources, one world problem you'd like to solve, and general "tell me about yourself" questions. The technical portion included a simulated flight from KDCA-KCLT. Decode a METAR and determine considerations (takeoff alternate not needed, but wet...
