Interview gouge for American Eagle

[Wile]

Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone has any up to date info on the AE interview process. Just wondering what to expect as far as sim or technical eval.

Go to www.willflyforfood.com. That web site has information on airline interviews and salaries.

Interview Question 1: How are you preparing yourself for our 10 year ugrades, considering you'll be on regional FO salary for a decade?

Question 2: Do you have a pulse?

Ok, you're hired.

Hopefully there is going to be some pretty big movement or news here in the next couple months.

First they have you take out your laptop and put it in a bin, then go through a metal detector while a clown tries to determine if you look drunk.
Then you get in the sim with a partner and read a USA Today.
Next, you get the typical HR questions, like:
Do you steal towels/lightbulbs/bathrobes from hotels?
Do you get the urge to strangle people who slam the thrust levers to idle instead of slowly bringing them back?
The end of the day is a timed obstacle course, where you run from the sim to a food cart, order overpriced greasy food, run back to the sim, and eat it before your V1 cut.

They are resume Nazis. I've never seen anything like it. Your resume has to be error free. They actually gave us whiteout. I've never seen anything like it at an airline interview. That was the first of a series of big warning signs.

The interview takes 5 days. Most of the time you just wait wondering about what other room your supposed to go to wait some more.

The sim training is very stupid, you get into a briefing room and an old guy litteraly explains to you how to turn an airplane! Apparently to bank an airplane you move the steering wheel to the left or right. To make it go up or down you move the steering will down or up.

You wait some more.

So, why is it that people still bother posting questions on this site? You can ask a simple question but get nothing in return but sarcastic responses that may or may not have anything to do with the original question.
Oh, yeah, lest I forget, Mesa Sucks.

Is Eagle back to doing sim rides on the interview? Can I log the .5 we put in the 707 sim?

 

[no1pilot2000]

That's the nice thing about this forum. One can ask questions. Some people can either answer those questions in a sarcastic or useful manner.

 

[Long Time Gone]

I haven't seen a useful answer yet. If I had the info, I would have helped. Sorry.

Dude, I am still chuckling about the obstacle course. I don't care who you are, that was some funny $hit.

 

[Metro752]

This thread delivers with perfect flightinfo form. We have Eagle obstacle courses, greasy food, v1 cuts, people complaining about the quality of answers given, use of the word Nazi, poor saps hoping for good news at their regional, and last but not least: MESA SUCKS.



Whoops, -1 point noone has said Hitler's Youth yet.

That is funny

That is so true, they brainwash you with all those American Airlines logos. But you're about as close to an American Airlines pilot as is a goat herder.

So wait, the Goat Herder is not an American Airlines pilot? That lying SOB!

Yeah, from what I've heard, all your CA's with AA numbers are making out their hardship cases so they can get out of going to AA. Especially the 200 or so that were affected by some arbitrators ruling. I wonder if all the FO's will be able to make some sort of hardship case for all the extra time they have to spend as FO's because of these old coots.

Isn't that obviously redundant when talking about an Eagle CA? I've heard they are still using cave walls as their writing stock.
