It will have everything you need. Just curious what your times where.

I interviewed recently, and the gouges are fairly close. It was a tough technical, he grilled me on systems on my plane. I mean made me dig very deep into the systems, so be (over)prepared and know as much as you can possibly dig up on it. It was a straightforward interview, although the CRM phase was odd. Good luck.

Know your systems. Know Jepp charts inside and out. Know instrument procedures. Questions from the written are taken from the ATP exam. The mechanical aptitude questions are similar to those on the AFOQT. Study guides can be found at any major bookstore. Once you're at the interview, it's yours to lose. Good Luck!

To some of you less experienced at being interviewed, by all means know your airplane, but just like in an oral, answer the question saying only what needs to be said. It's often when you volunteer too much information that it turns into a game to find out what you don't know. If they start asking questions like the luminosity of the glow-in-the-dark exit signage, relax. That probably means you're doing just fine.

One of my favorite interview questions is:
"Tell me about yourself!"

Wrong answer:
What would you like to know?

Right answer:
A 90 to 120 second history of who you are, and how you ended up interviewing at the airline. This takes a heck of a lot of practice.
Try it, on your friends relatives or other victims!

Don't lie. The interviewers are great lie detectors and have no a tolerance policy. If the truth sucks, put a good spin on how much of a learning experience it was and how you've grown. I told them that I showed up late and missed my show at another airline, and now I set several alarms first thing upon entering my hotel room. They complemeted me on my honesty because they had not recieved that report from said airline. We've hired a couple of great people who had shady pasts and didn't sugar coat it in the interview just spun it nicely. The best thing is to be positive.

Good luck

The written is the ATP questions, without the Weight and Balance, 135 stuff, and the performance graphs.

The Other one has to do with mechanical aptitude stuff. Most problems contained drawings that must be interpreted correctly based on general physics, and/or logic. There are some good books out there on these subjects.

Good luck to all interviewing.
