First impressions matter, and professional attire and punctuality contribute significantly. Introduction: The...

The interview was exactly as described by others here. I had a very easy going and down to earth lady who interviewed me. She started out by going over all the benefits that Vista has to offer and how great of a company they are. Spent probably close to 10-15 minutes on that portion then moved into talking about myself and how I got into aviation. Was just a very natural conversation, had no stupid questions.  Conversed for probably 20ish minutes about ourselves and then moved into...

The written test was really easy and every question was on this website. I got everything correct. Just read one time before my interview and that was perfect.

I told him what airplane I fly and it was same airplane. They consider your airplane. Interview was for 50mins and very friendly. We just talked about my...

Everything described on this website about the overall experience from the phone screening to the sim at the end of the day is spot on what you can expect. Headquarters are very nice and the team is very kind/informative. However, yesterday at my group interview, they completely changed the technical written exam  It is a whole new exam. The questions were very random and ranged from things like pitot static blockages, ACARS, CPDLS, derived alternate minimums. Our entire group of...

Phone call screening interview was exactly as described by other reports. Took about 50 minutes, mostly friendly conversation. Almost the first 20 minutes were entirely taken up with a description of the benefits of working for the company which was very impressive. She did a great job of selling me on wanting to work for them. Then HR questions, (view the study guide of this website).  Technical questions were very brief and easy, so much so that I only remember two: what is RVSM...

Had the interview with Jacqui, pretty laid back. Will start by mentioning all benefits and opportunity you have with the company, then will proceed to ask you a couple of hr questions. (Why XO, what qualities you look in a company, how would you handle a situation with a manager) then will ask you to talk about your self and resume. 5 quick technical questions (what is RVSM, distance from a TS, speed below B, difference in DA and MDA) after that will be a small talk and ask you for your...
