OK folks, heres the scoop.
The best advice i can give is to get on aviationinterviews.com and check out the most recent posts. This stuff is really right on. I didn't get a lot of the HR questions listed there but it helped me start thinking in the right frame of mind. I also talked through all the tech and hr questions outloud. It helped me get my thoughts in order so I could answer somewhat intelligently without sounding like rainmain. It's true what you hear about them putting you at ease when you get there. Its still an interview to be sure, but it helps that the people you're sitting across the table from are pleasant to talk with.
I interviewed with 4 other guys: one military, one other regional guy, and two retired major airline guys. I'm not sure how they did, but all seemed like good people.
And then there was the sim... They give a pretty good brief the evening before the ride but no doubt, it was squirrley. Just talk through everything. If you're off hdg/alt, say you're correcting. Make sure you communicate with the guy sitting next to you. Thats a huge part of what theyre looking for.
So this afternoon I got the call from Linda and she offered me 3 different airplanes and 3 different class dates for TEB:
08/06 in the Encore
10/08 in the X
11/05 (i think) in the XL
I took 10/08 in the X. I'm pretty excited to make the change. Its gonna be an adjustment from the 121 life I've been living for the last 6 years, but I'm ready to do it.
For the guys that answered all my endless questions, thanks! It defintely helped me feel more prepared.
Good luck guys. Study up before you get to CMH and you'll do just fine.
