Express Jet Interview

Time Grid Question

anyone know if they still want you to put dual recieved as sic?

 

[d.fitz]

Someone here, on another post, said not to worry about the "old grid". The "new grid" is much simpler... I dont know that for sure though....

So, you may be doing alot of work for nothing....

FWIW!

My interview date was moved up to the the 5th as well. I originally had the 9th. I guess there is a class date of Feb 16th that needs to be filled. Anyone else on the 5th. PM me if you would like. Maybe we can hangout afterwards and grab a beer are something while we wait for the return trip.

THANKS A MILLION!!

Man, I appreciate the TONS of people who emailed me Dawn's #, she'll be getting a call tomorrow! I did find that they already have a flight scheduled for me on the 11th at 6:45am outta Memphis, so I'm not so worried now. I just called CAL and asked, and my name was there. I was beginning to think they forgot about me or something! Does her email that she sends say to bring LOR's, transcripts, driving record, etc.? I have most on hand already, but at the rate things are going, best way to get info around here is...........well............here.

 

[FL240]

It doesnt say to bring any of that....but I would bet its a good idea to have them. (LOR's, transcripts, driving record, etc.? ) It has instructions on what they want copies of such as your pilot certs. SS card, Drivers license, and it has the flight time grid you have to fill out with it.

I wonder if they will freak out when I tell them I lost my social security card? I do have the paperwork for a replacement, but you know those government people, it's gonna be at least two weeks before I see it. Anyone have this happen to them?

 

[GEARHEAD]

if you do not have a ss card they might accept a passport.

 

[wannab0133]

affirmative sewer...no ss card for me, but i did apply. im hoping ill get it before the interview. by the way, the ss ofice visit was a pain in the arse. they were serving 56 and i held number 101. thats what i get for losing the **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** thing in the first place.

 

[sewerpiper]

Thanks guys. I got a passport so i guess one less thing. Are you guys treating the SIC column the same as dual time on the flight time grid sheet?

 

[Awdad6]

Hey, here’s a question:

How much cash have you guys dropped preparing for the interview?

Between the new suit, expedited passport, FCC license...etc, I’m a little afraid to look at my visa bill.

 

[starchkr]

A few things about the interview...

I have read about the people here saying that the interviewers want to see how well you follow directions, so my plan is to show up with only what they asked for in the email. Maybe a death sentence, but hey, i follow directions well. Ok so maybe i will have the other stuff on me, but i will not volunteer it.

Second, as far as the bill for the interview goes;

1. same suit i have had for 4 years now...I refuse to purchase a new one.
2. Expedited passport...nah, too much money. I will make a copy of my application for the passport at the regular cost.
3. FCC RROP... well, i did spring for that.

$$

I agree with the above, if they ask, or seem interested in letters of recommendation, out they'll come, but until then, nothing.

As for money, let's see;
Blue "Interview" Sport Coat - Had for 6 year=0$
Tan Pants - Had for about 3 years=0$
Same yellow "Power Tie" - Had for 5 years=0$
Passport - Former employer expedited(and never used)=0$
FCC License - purchased for my 9/11 interview=$50/~2 years ago
New white dress shirt to replace the beer stained/hurricane ridden one I used for Halloween this year=~$35

So I guess about $35, I don't go overboard with these things, a well kept suit........and midsection.........will last you forever.

 

[Awdad6]

New suit: $300

FCC license and Expedited passport: $200

Beating those who got off cheaper than you with a stick: Priceless

Re: $$

My two cents worth: leave the tan pants and sports coat at home and invest in a formal business suit. Everyone that got hired with my class had one and those we saw interviewing today had them.

Don't think of it as a waste of money, either. You may have a funeral to attend some day or a fancy wedding and you'll look extra sharp.

Good luck.

 

[jrcpilot]

How many interviewed today sluffpuppy? Any info on the process? Is there really no sim eval?


Thanks

 

[d.fitz]

FYI, There was no sim eval before either....

 

[jrcpilot]

Did not know that fitz thanks.
Well I hope things went well for the guys today. Hopefully will see some stuff on how the process is being done.

 

[starchkr]

Just heard from Dawn today about the need for the FCC RROP and the Passport for the interview.

Copies of your application for both are sufficient for the interview process. So you do not need to go out and spend the extra money trying to get the passport expedited back to you in time for the interview. This will save some of us some money, for those of you who already paid the extra cash... well maybe you can fly a few extra hours your first couple of months to make that money back

Driving Directions

Any one planning to drive down for the interview intead of flying because you live in Houston? My interview is on 12th and I was supposed to get driving directions from ExpressJet via e-mail. I did not receive the e-mail yet. Can anyone share that info. if you have it? Thank you.

I saw four guys in for the interview today. They had them here quite a while - I'd say almost all day. Sorry, but no intel on the process other than there was no sim ride. I did see one of the guys in an interview room with an HR manager and two other people I didn't recognize... a 3 on 1 thing. I know this doesn't help you guys a lot, but it's all I have.

One other thing - these four guys looked like they could fit in here really well - no obvious attitudes or any of that crap. They looked very professional in appearance and seemed like guys I'd like to fly with.

Good luck.
