  • Arrived one prior to interview as instructed and met with other interviewees in the cafeteria. I must admit the whole atmosphere was extremely relaxed and the employees expressed their gratitude which actually felt genuine. The first part of the interview was HR where I met with a senior female captain and an HR rep. Both thanked me for being there and seemed pleased that I could make it. I understand everyone needs pilots but this was the most appreciated interview I can ever recall, which reduced the tension immensely! Both were kind and gave a spiel about how the interview would go, specifically they not only wanted TMAA answers but how did you deal with it and what did...

    Terrific interview experience. World class facilities and friendly individuals. The gouge is spot on. The experience did not deviate from the guide here. Format: Tell me about yourself. Then TMAAT questions, (view the study guide of this website).  5-7 minute break. Technical: MCO-EWR. Brief the 13 TEM items in order. Get airborne and you hear a bang and the forward passenger door is indicating open. Resolve the issue. Brief the Phlbo arrival with some various chart questions. Brief...

    The interview experiences here were all spot on, so not much to add. Overall a great experience as everyone is very friendly and professional and they really do their best to make you feel comfortable and to get to know you. There’s no tricks or surprises. My advice would be not to focus too much on the specific TMAAT questions. While most of mine were similar to the ones posted here, none were exactly the same. They seem to have a very large database of random TMAAT questions to ask...

    Panel interview, around 80 minutes in total. One HR rep. and one check airman captain. First part was TMAY and then 5 TMAATs: quick decision w/o all information, greatest leadership influence, resolve a conflict between two people, made a change in the organization, made a decision you regret later. 5 minute break and then on to the technical. How to brief new FO as a CA with 13 briefing items, had to review a TAF and list all the threats (in particular, needed an alternate). Abnormal was a...

    As described in all the previous example. TMAAT, absolutely KNOW your 13 briefing items, and walked through a sample flight with diversion. Just asked about what are my thoughts on the topics, what am I considering. Know and be able to discuss CRM/TEM topics. Know the debrief flow and topics outlined in the study guide. Why...

    Very straightforward and what you read on hear to the T! They want you to be comfortable and try to help you relax. Once you check in, they give you a tour of the museum and then have you sit in a room and just ask questions while you wait to be pulled for the interview. That stated on here, they start out with a tell me about yourself and then 5 TMAAT. All the questions were listed on here so if you get these down, you’ll be prepared. You take a break and then you go to the technical...

    Pretty much exactly as conveyed on this site. When they say your interview starts at 8am, they actually mean 7:30am. so be SURE to get there an hour before 8am! Tell me about yourself 5 HR questions (captain asked me to elaborate on a couple of my responses, which was no big deal) scenario based flight (again, went exactly as others have described it on this site) why United note that i interviewed as part of the SKW Pilot Pathways program, so by being "hired" it meant hired into...

    The other gouges are all spot on. Pilot and HR person start with an intro about themselves then ask about you and how you got where you are today (Intro). 5 TMAAT questions (impossible to know which ones they’ll ask as they use a sheet and select at random, so I won’t bother listing mine). Took a short break and started the technical portion. Very straight forward. Vectored off sid what altitude do you fly? Climb via what altitude do you set? Same questions on STAR. Asked when...
