  • 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...

    Very straight forward if you prepare, pretty much the same experience as others have mentioned. Review METAR's, TAF's, 121 takeoff minimums, takeoff alternate, destination alternate, RVR, SID's, STAR's, ILS, briefing a taxi route/hazards, hypoxia, oxygen requirements, squawk codes, Vmc, critical engine factors, and systems on your current aircraft. HR and technical questions exactly as is mentioned on the study guide here. Good...

    The study guide here helps. Typical route that I have seen from this website. CLT to DFW - Did a taxiway diagram at CLT and then did a SID out of CLT. Mainly just point and asked what is this and that questions. Then did an arrival into DFW and did the ILS 31R. Just know what each item is on the ILS and what happens if your established on the ILS and lose your glideslope and or if the weather drops below minimums. Just go in there confident and study what they send you and also know Jepp...

    My interview was exactly as described on this site. Quick HR with exactly the questions listed here. They sent me the study packet a few weeks prior with Jepp charts. Study them and know your chart symbology. ARP, runway lengths, hotspots. Went over a simulated flight from CLT to DFW. We used all different charts that they had sent me. Went over metars, tafs and things to consider for each. Takeoff mins, departure alternates and destination alternates, icing conditions. Chart symbology for...

    Gouge here had me prepped well. What really prepared me and put my mind at ease was the mock interview with my mentor. Don't overthink it, it really wasn't bad. My HR portion lasted about 10 minutes. Technical portion was about 30. My interviewers style was to basically just point to things and ask what they are. Just like a checkride, I answered only the question asked and didn't elaborate unless asked to. For example, on the Jepp charts he pointed out symbols and I simply answered what...

    Pretty self explanatory. This site preps you for pretty much everything. Know your Metar and Taf.  Study and know the regulations and subject matter.  HR questions were pretty normal. Majority was technical portion. SIDs, STARS, Plates. Just be confident. If you don’t know something say that you don’t know it. They respect the...

    PSA Senior Cadet In-Person. Consisted of an F.O. based in Philadelphia (PHL) and a Line Check Airman based in Charlotte (CLT). Started off with about four "get to know you" questions. One was an icebreaker type of question to relieve the nerves. Get ready to explain, "Why PSA Airlines?" The HR portion of the interview lasted about 15 minutes, then jumped right into technical questions. It's all based on a scenario. I got a flight from Charlotte to Dallas. Started off with...

    HR was combined with technical. The study gouge is spot on. Make sure study from this website and scenario. KCLT to KDFW ILS 35R, started off with METAR, TAF, following with take off alternate. The questions were very clear and no trick questions at all. Went deep on ILS 35R especially symbology. As long as you study from this study guide and PSA send you, you will be...

    I studied what was sent to me by PSA for the technical interview and also studied what’s on here! Be confident and friendly, and you’ll do great. Know how to read METARs and TAFs, specifically RVR and VV. Be familiar with jepp charts and...

  11. I got accepted into 2 cadet programs thanks to these study questions! I was surprised at how spot on these guides were, which led me to be prepared coming into the interviews.
