"I'm going to prep with Albie15 and fly the sim."

That's about all I'd do, unless you want to troll around the internet for the latest gouge.

You've done the hardest part. From here on out they genuinely want to hire you. I'd work on keeping the BP low, being extremely honest and acting like the steely-eyed missile man they're looking for. My interview was extremely low key and friendly. I ran a couple of miles that morning before I went in, and I had a six-pack waiting for me in the room fridge for when it was over. When I got stressed I'd just think about that cold beer.

"I ran a couple of miles that morning before I went in, and I had a six-pack waiting for me in the room fridge for when it was over. When I got stressed I'd just think about that cold beer."

That is probably the best advice I have ever read on this board.

I got the call also, but I only recieved the message from KD on my voicemail. By the time I got the message and called, I am assuming she was gone for the weekend. She said to call back on Monday. What date did they schedule your interview for? I can hardly wait until Monday to get the details.

Just make sure you don't get confused and get the order reversed. . . .

For you guys/gals getting "the call": How many recommendations did you have? I only have one. What are my chances? I am not in the military either....seems like they like military.

Goose,

Did you have someone walk your resume in? How many online Recs did you have?

Is this a big secret? Bueller? Bueller?

been flying....

to answer some of the posts above...

Did my face to face about 2 months ago with Mr. Lewis in MEM. Three of my buddies went into the meeting with me. I got the call on the 19th of Nov, i have to call back Monday to find out when i can go to MEM.
I have 5 LOR from FedEx pilots, all but one i have flown with me.


Huck,

thats some great advice.....i will do that. But dose anyone have any good ideas what to study for the test?????

D-

The testing is the last thing you do after the second day of a high stress interviewing. Of the 4 graded phases of the interview (Sim, SBI, Face-to-Face, Testing) I believe the testing is weighted the least and the Face-to-Face the most.

Just study the AF canidate testing book and an SAT prep guide, that ought to do it. The hard part is over, time to work on your stories.

An internet search on Syllogistic logic or syllogisms might be a good plan. There is gouge out there on these things, but for the life of me I couldn't explain WHY they are tested.

As an employee, I cannot provide test materials, nor does Emerald Coast Interview Consulting. That being said, the stuff IS out there, and I'm sure a few helpful souls from flightinfo can probably post some links to where to find the stuff.

cheers....
