  • It was not the conventional interview, I don’t think? Here is the process for me from start to end. I submitted application online. I heard from them about two weeks later. Then it took another two weeks to do a virtual interview, which lasted about two hours and more or less was just conversational. Then I was invited for a face-to-face in Detroit. That...

    I met Randy in a random airport and he told me to apply to USA Jets even at my hours. I gave him a resume in person. I received notice of a team’s interview the next week. Very chill, mostly about how the company works. Director of Operations offered me a CJO pending I could pass some written tests and a simulator test on a trip to Detroit. I went to Detroit and passed the tests (exactly as described in other posts about this company). They wanted me to start 10 days later, but I had...

    The Interview process was as described. You take a short SAT style test over basic to advanced math questions and a general aviation regulation test over 91, 135, and 121 ops. The test is very outdated, and some questions have multiple correct answers. But that's really not important because I genuinely believe the test had no influence on whether or not I was hired. I was currently flying a transport category aircraft for another air carrier so I was not required to take the simulator...

Then it took another two weeks to do a virtual interview, which lasted about two hours and more or less was just conversational. Then I was invited for a face-to-face in Detroit. That took place about two weeks after the virtual interview. much of it was just conversational. I took four different written exams....

    Overall the interview experience was great. This company is growing flying mainly MD88s and FA20. Interview was in the offices at the FBO. First thing I did was taking the FAR test that was untimed while the HR grabbed us one by one to do some paper work. Then Randy gave out a presentation about the company. After that I took an ACT/SAT timed test on mathematics, matching, and mechanical. Then I did a simulator evaluation in the MD80. (view the Sim/Scenario section of the study guide of...

    Overall the interview experience was great. This company is growing and they are getting MD88s from Delta. During my interview experience, it was in the offices at the FBO. First thing I did was taking the FAR test that was untimed while the HR grabbed us one by one to do some paper work. Then Randy gave out a presentation about the company. After that I took an ACT/SAT timed test on mathematics, matching, and mechanical. Then I did a simulator evaluation in the MD80. (view the Sim/Scenario...

    Great interview experience! Myself and one other individual were interviewing that day. Roughly 1 hour long company presentation, 4 written exams. 30 question FAR written exam (untimed), 60 question mathematical exam (20 minute time limit), mechanical comprehension exam (timed, 4-5 minute limit) and a matching exam (5 minute time limit). Read all instructions, nothing too hard at all. During the FAR exam, I was taken to complete the simulator evaluation. Memorize the flow and call outs to a...

    Interview was as described previously in the gouge. Have to pay your own way to YIP but USA Jet will cover a night in the Hilton. The interview was a laid back process, with only myself and one other applicant in a classroom. It started with a 45-60 minutes overview of USA Jet, including the company's history, pilot life style and future opportunities. It is stressed frequently that the on-demand nature of the business is very hard on applicant's life styles, and you are liable to be called...

    The interview was exactly as others stated.. I don’t think they’ve made any changes or plan on doing so. The tests were somewhat intimidating and hard to study for but don’t sweat it. Do your best. Nobody has “aced” them nor finished of all them. Just be accurate and efficient. I had to practice long hand division, other than that I studied 121 and 135 rules and regs. Randy is an awesome guy, he’ll lead you through most of the interview. Panel interview...

    Great company. Old equipment. They made me the offer. The SIM was the hardest part. It is a desktop SIM of the MD80. Study the SIM Profile they send you in the interview packet and you shouldn't have a problem. The HR part of the interview is easy. The Chief Pilot attended this part of the interview. His questions were long term related. A battery of timed tests (5 in all), which come right out of the ATP study guide. They represented themselves very well, and Randy (recruiter) is a huge...

  10. 10. 

    The interview started at 8am sharp where me and two other applicants were greeted and taken to a classroom where we were introduced to Randy. Randy gave us a 30 minute presentation on USA Jet Airlines, including company history, pilot lifestyle, compensation and benefits. After that we started a series of multiple choice timed written tests including math, physics, mechanical, matching and FAR (not timed). During our written tests the other candidates and I were periodically grabbed by staff...
