Eagle interview on the 4th.

[LewisU_Pilot]

I have an Interview with Eagle on the 4th. Any advice/suggestions/pointers or .02 cents? I have all my documents in order and have been studying the crud out of jepp charts. I heard they no longer have the 60 question ATP test so I haven't really been studying the Gleim book. Anything specific I should take a look at to prepare?

a lot cheaper than wasting the time, effort, and money just going to an interview, a good investment

Yeah...do you mean 2 cents or 2/100ths of 1 cent of information wanted? Theres a big difference and Im not sure Id trust the 2/100ths over the whole 2 cents worth. But ya know, whats a couple of decimal points among friends (or on DME for that matter)? This is my second time posting this because the first one didnt go through...consider it my 2 sents. Also, I used my fingers to type this (feel) and you are using your eyes to read this (sight) so you can consider this 2 sence(s). Just my .02 cents sents sence!

Yeah...thats one of those words that I get wrong everytime. And dont get me started on that whole i before e thing.
If you get a moment to break away from editing peoples posts on the internet, I would certainly appreciate your forgiveness with respect to my blunder....I am sooooo embarrassed!
(God I hope I didnt spell anything wrong in this contrition...I wonder if he/she will count off for punctuation?)

Well judging by your s/n it's not too difficult to figure out where you went to school . So, I just want to wish a fellow "Flyer" good luck. Hopefully I'll be right behind you very shortly.

It seemed like getting the documents in order was 75% of the battle for me. Otherwise, the tech is nothing to sweat if you really know your Jepps, and the HR, well, be ready for those "why should we hire you" and "tell me one of your biggest weakness" questions. The sim is nothing to stress over--Fokker F-100 in my interview. Full motion, so I actually had a lot of fun with it. Zero stress.

Hope this helps! And make sure you check out aviationinterviews.com That really prepared me well.

Exactly what documents are you folks referring to?

Exactly what documents are you folks referring to?

Hmm... let's see if I can remember them all...

College transcripts (these were the biggest pain)
Copies of college diploma (I have no idea why they needed this)
Driving record for last 5 years (only slightly less painful)
Ten year employment history--typed (not bad once I got going)
Eagle Time Grid (has to balance--pain in the butt!)
Other general paperwork, not too bad

Copies and originals of:

Social Security Card
Birth certificate
Passport
FCC Licesnse
Copies of certs
Medical (make sure it's current class 1)

And logbooks need to be in pretty good shape. They look at them very closely.

Also make sure you come with a list of references with phone and fax numbers. I had like a two week gap where I wasn't employed or in school back in 2004 for, and they wanted a reference for this. (I'm like, two weeks??!! Are you kidding? But I gave them the reference.)

Am I forgetting anything?

Thanks Goose Egg. I'm getting ready to apply but don't have the FCC or a Passport. I'm not to worried about the FCC permit but I'm kind of sweating the passport because I know it can take awhile. I was on the phone with the passport office today and they told me three weeks at BEST even if I had it expedited.

I've also heard that they want copies of dental records as well. Is this true? I can't imagine why they would need them. The only thing I could think of is that they want them on file in the event of an "unusually hard, unscheduled, off field landing". It sounds morbid; but it's the only reason I could think of as to why they would want/need them.

They accept the reciept for a passport for the interview, but the actual passport is required to start training. At least that's what my documentation says.

Nope.

I think you will regret ever getting into this business. Bottomline, you will bust your ass, be away from home, sleep strange and irregular hours and never be paid much more than a bus driver. "since" you are young and you will be tempted by flying for a major airline thiings will seem not so bad. After a few years you will lose your "will" to do something different and will rely on hope of things gettiing better. Cut your losses no and find a different line of work, the view from the cheap seats is the same at the top.

There is 10 seconds I'll never get back.
