US Air Interview

[JECKEL]

Just got a call for a US Air interview and I have no clue what to expect or what the format is.

Does anyone have the current gouge on the US Air interview or know what I can expect?

Thanks

Get to training center and are met by a captain who brings you on a tour of the training center and talks to you for maybe 30 mins. Then drops you off outside some conference rooms and takes your logbooks. You either do the hr or the tech interview first. HR is two hr people and one chief pilot just getting to know you questions and tmaat. Story, conflict and resolution type stuff. That lasts about 40 mins. They take turns asking you questions from a book and then feverishly write as you're spitting out your story. Next is the tech interview two pilots one hr person. Tech questions super easy and straight forward, airlinepilotcentral.com has the gouge. Then more tmaat questions. Same thing story , conflict, resolution stuff. Everyone was overly polite and nice, not an intimidating process.

Best of Luck. Where are you going to be interviewing? Regardless of what you read here, things will finish up in the next year or so. Let us know how it went!

dollacrackho's description was pretty much how it was when I did it over three years ago. Back then, the unofficial word was that you're 90% hired if you've made it to the interview so the 10% is all yours. Good luck!!

That's one nice thing compared to other carriers. They don't interview 200 people for 30 positions and waste a lot of peoples time. They're also good about getting back to you quickly. At least they used to be.

Glad to hear they are still doing it that way.

A smile, firm hand shake, and politeness puts you above the bottom 10% easy as eating cake. A little book knowledge and TMAT stories that don't drone past 59 seconds keeps you in the green.

Our HR folks and the training department are some of the best things about the company.

If you're dumb enough to show up for the interview, You're 90% hired!

Which fleets are being offered to newhires? Still E190 and 737-300/400? What about pilot bases (which are most likely)?

Off the top of my head - the last bid (for March 2012) had open positions after the bid closed for:

PHL,CLT,DCA - Airbus and 737

PHL - E190

Our last 737s went bye bye last month. Are the east 300/400s ex Piedmont birds?

It doesn't matter to me, but to be on the safe side, remember it's US Airways not US Air. Just don't slip up and say American Good luck.
