Hello folks, I was wondering if there are any current or former Island Air guys/gals out here (have an interview on May 20th).
If so, how about giving a little info on what to expect on the interview in the areas of tech questions, get to know you type scenarios, and are there in sim rides (since I was told it would be a two process).
Thanks in advance.
Technical questions I was asked (10/2000):
- What are the requirements for a visual approach?
- How do you land in right crosswind?
- You notice the smell of alcohol on captain's breath as you are taxiing into position, what do you do?
- Captain wants to go below DH by 50 feet to take a look since pax are unhappy due to massive weather delays, what do you do?
- Know all about Vmc
- Brief the approach. Usually, it's Kapalua/West Maui VOR-DME (PHJM), then during the circle you lose sight of the runway, which way do you turn (AWAY from rising terrain)
Personal questions:
- What are your strengths/weaknesses?
- What is leadership and what is your leadership style
- Tell us about a difficult time in your life and how you handled it
- Have you applied to other carriers?
- Where do you see yourself in a year? In 5 years?
- Are you aware of cost of living in Hawaii?
Bottom line, go in there and be yourself. Be prepared and WEAR A SUIT!
Joe is by far the best boss I've ever had. Very fair, understanding, and a good friend of the pilot group in the management.
This is a fun job. We have one of the best medical plans available, industry-standard pay, good work rules, good schedules and other standard airline benefits. We also have 401k (unmatched unfortunately), and a retirement plan.
Good luck and if I can help any further... drop me a PM.
Aloha!
