In my case. I thought the interview was OK. I did real well on the
Sim. I did the sim prep, a must. I believe, Jill's interview was standard and OK. This was the HR portion. Then I had Steve and Jim tag teaming me in one interview. Mostly about my old airline. All good stuff. If, the interview stopped here, I believe, I would have had the job.
My last interview was with Doug. He started out asking me what CRM meant to me. Standards,Safety,Working as a team, using all
the available resources, SOP's, ATC,dispatch,Flight Att and even
the pax if the situation calls.
Here is where,my interview, went bad. Tell me a time when a bad day turned into a good day. I started on a story and he did not want to hear that one. He said, more current. I said, I have not flown the line for a year and a half. My two years at the airline where very standard. So, I went to my commuter time, now I am back 4+ years. The story was scattered and not what he was looking for. Not to make excuses, I was not prepared for line stories. I have dumped all of that. He also asked me about a time when I did something wrong on line and what did I do. I scattered that story also. Then conflict in the cockpit. The story I came up with was on the spot and not well thought out. I could
not remember details and I felt I was in a pressure cooker.
This is what I believe, ruled me out. The CRM type scenario questions.
I walked out of that interview and knew that was an issue. I felt
out of 3 interviews and a sim I was at 75%. Obviously not good
enough.
