think i'd score high if i told them ATT "my young low time chinese FO clicked the AP off over the OM with low ceilings,mdt rain and gusty crosswind at night ( failed to brief this in the decent briefing) and I said "what the Fuk are you doing ?" and took the controls?

I have an interview at the end of the month. Never saw the "see directions" last time I checked. Does it stay up or say anything meaningful? They said the detailed email about the flights and such wouldn't come until the day before my travel date. I have another email asking to setup travel to the interview, if you didn't get to do it over the phone.

VERY important to respond to the TMAAT question with S.A.R.

S - Situation... describe the situation and your position
A - Action... how you responded in that situation
R - Result ... summarize what you learned and how it made you better

In fact, during my interview (several years ago) the interviewers even had a sheet divided into three columns labeled for just those responses. Most questions can be answered with this technique and it keeps the interviewer from trying to dig information out of you, making the whole process easier and less confrontational. Some of the questions I got, and used this technique with, were:

TMAAT
- you disagreed with a company policy.
- you flew with someone you didn't get along with
- you could have tried harder
- you flew into an unfamiliar airport
- you had trouble in training/failed checkride/exam
- you did something you later regretted
- you were accused of something you didn't do
- you made a controversial decision
- you helped change a policy
- you broke a rule/regulation
etc

Be sure to end every question on a positive note. It seemed to me that the emphasis was less on flying skills and experience, but more on personal character and integrity. Your resume/application show you have the experience/ratings/hours to be qualified. Now show us who you are to see if you're a good fit. Good luck. Maybe I'll see you around here

That was great. Just what I was looking for. It was also mentioned before I think to. I have been trying to think about my stories in that way.
Does anyone recall how many TMAAT's they're looking for?

I didn't get a question, other than the chart stuff, that wasn't a TMAAT.

Video yourself in a practice interview. Have someone you're comfortable with give it. Review it. How do you look/sound? Content, substance and perception. if you look funky in the video, imagine how you'll look with someone you DON'T know.

Don't get bent out of shape if you don't get it. THERE IS NO PILOT SHORTAGE, AND WON'T BE for the legacies and majors that pay well.

Then there's always Asia....
