XJT phase 4 interview

[Blackhawk]

Does anyone have any information on the final phase of XJT's interview?

I believe that it is more of the same as the third phase but more personalized to you.

Is there a sim portion?

Everything that I have seen on the net is about phase 3.

Any heads up would help.

Thanks,
Blackhawk

One-on-one with the Sr. Director of Flight Ops according to his voicemail.

Jim Nides is the Vice President of Flight Operations. George Semak is the Senior Director of Flight Operations.

Phase 4 is where you have to fellate the director of operations.... Least that's what Ben Franklin says....

If you make it to that phase its a personality check more than anything else. I got now tech questions what so ever it was all about my take on things and I think to see if I was someone they could spend 4 days in the cockpit with. If you make it that far. Your probably in. Good Luck!!

Better then getting boned up the @ss without astro lube by Johnny O!

Phase 4??? How many phases are there?

What do we do in phase 10?

 

[Nova]

Phase 1: They ask how much Be-90 time you have.

Phase 2: They ask how much of it is PIC

Phase 3: They ask if you fly with your hat on.




But really...

Phase 1: online application

Phase 2: Phone interview

Phase 3: Face to face interview in the IAH training center with HR folks and line pilots

Phase 4: Face to face interview in the IAH training center with HR management, Flight Ops management and chief pilots.

It seems some had both Phase 3 and 4 on the same day if it works with the managers schedules.

Guess you got a point... I'd rather fellate than get boned up the @ss.... personally....

 

[Otto Coarsen]

All of my BE-90 time is PIC.

Then why didn't you just buy a R/T ticket on UAL to Sydney? That will cost you quite a bit less and you can log PIC time in a 747-400 instead of a measly BE-90..

 

[starvingcfi]

hehe

 

[C-12Bubba]

WOW...

 

[Nova]

Because in the BE-90 i'm in the left front seat flying the plane as PIC.

..and CFI's sit in the right seat logging PIC, what's your point? How much of that PIC time is unsupervised? (ie Not Dual Received).

 

[lear35man]

Ok, answer this question TabF/O. If the a/c is involved in an accident while you are in the left seat as "pic" who will get their ticket put into hot water? You (the "pic") or the instructor in the back or the right seat or where ever he decides to sit?

 

[chperplt]

He's getting valuable PIC time saying "Clear Left" or "Clear Right."

 

[Aileron2020]

TAB,

Quick questionfor you. Who signs for the aircraft and is responsible if you bend it? You or your partner? Until you sign your name to the paperwork you may technically be logging PIC time, but most airlines are only interested in the signing authority.

[lear35man]

I would at least, the rest would be up to the feds.

If you had any flight instructing background, you might know that the instructor will most likely take the brunt of the blame, because he is there as an experienced pic to make sure you don't screw up. You will most likely get off unscathed. So you is "really" the pic now?

Wow, I just laughed at a Mesa pilot for reasons other than his contract!!

[Ben Franklin]

I sign the aircraft out.

When I flew at Embry-Riddle, I had to sign for the airplane and swipe a flight card so that my account could be billed for the flight time.

Most, including myself would argue that I was not the PIC.

B. Franklin

Per 135 regs, I don't understand how supertool can log PIC. Could Turd in training please explain how its considered legal pic time?

 

[Ben Franklin]

-Turd in training pays alot of money to "the man"

-"The man", to further his sale and increase his commission, shows the Turd FAR part 61 where you can log PIC time if you manipulate the controls of an aircraft for which you are rated.

-The Turd gets a boner and writes his check immediately.

_"The Man" gets a boner and spends the Turds check on a new boat immediately.

-With the $3.50 left over, "the man" buys the Turd a hat to wear in his student file photo.

_"the man", to decrease The Turd's buyer's remorse, tells the turd that he must sign for the aircraft as a matter of company policy.

-The turd thinks that he is signing for the aircraft per FAR's and keeps his boner. His family thinks he is smuggling baby carrots out of the local grocery on his way home from the airport.

-The turd posts his picture on the internet along with his flight times and justifications for illegally logging PIC time.


Sincerely,

B. Franklin
