    Started by asking personal questions and wanted information on what got me interested in flying and what my passions are. Then asked me about the kind of culture I wanted to work in. Also asked about what I knew about PSA. Then went into approach plates, aircraft systems, and what I would do in different situations with emergencies. We talked a little about the different bases on...

    Similar to the study guide, please refer and use this for your technical interview! They will provide this to you upon submitting your interview date/time. You are only required to bring your pilot certification and personal documents, but you do not do any additional flight planning for extra documents that you would need to bring. The study guide provided has a STAR, an instrument approach, some commercial knowledge, etc. The interview is “point and ask” style and mostly goes...

    Technical interview was not bad at all. This study guide is basically the whole interview exactly. I was interviewed by two first officers who were very kind and joked around with me a little bit which put me at ease. Started out reading a METAR and TAF, make sure you know the remarks section. Asked me if I needed a takeoff alternate based off the METAR and destination alternate based off the TAF. We then looked at a taxi diagram, asked me about hotspots, ARP, and Airport beacon. Then we got...

    Quick and easy. The gouge on this site included every question I was asked. Both of the FO interviewers were great resources for my questions about PSA, the commuter policy, and hiring. One of the interviewers was also my assigned mentor. That put me at ease. After they introduced themselves and their experiences, I did the same. I was then asked about flight time, current ratings, accidents/incidents, and check ride failures. I think the most important with these last items is to...

    Met virtually. Hr portion was basic but as listed in the study guide. Answer honestly and thoughtfully. The study guide here covers it all. Know obscure metar codes. Read a metar then a Taf to determine if an alternate was required. Study Jepp plates, SIDS / STARS / 10-9s. Be able to brief an ILS. Know your holding speeds and IFR...

    Interview was heavy on Jepp charts, those are a must! This was for the Senior Cadet Position, so the offer is for the program only, and CJO for First Officer is contingent on reaching 1,500 hours...

    Very similar to study guide. Make sure to be comfortable in reading some advanced METAR, TAF, be able to know if you need an alternate according to 121 regs. Know the systems of the airplane that you are currently flying and make sure to know a lot about JEPPESEN charts. Interview was pretty quick and all the question were very close to the study...

    We started with metar taf of DCA CLT wasn’t too hard just pay attention and be aware of the remarks and SLP, then we went over taxi instructions and considerations cuz weather was snowing on the metar like what would u do I said I will consider taxi with flaps up , de icing , anti icing , brief the hot spots and intersections, then we moved to SID what speed would u comply to ? It’s said on the SID 220 but after 250KTS after that we moved to STAR then approach plates nothing was...

    Pretty straight-forward interview. Reading the study guides definitely made me more prepared. FO and HR person appreciated me being prepared. Expect Jeppessen charts, DPs, STARS, approach plates. Know ARP, MSA 25 nm unless specified, highest altitude in STAR or DP...
