Its actually two just FYI. And that qualifies me for most regional airlines believe it or not.

Know the company pedigree info, core values, name some cities served, basic history of company.

Resume questions, your background and experiences.

Some questions along the lines of decision making. Be honest with these, think them through.

Interview will be done with an member of flight ops and HR. 2 person panel

Sim eval is nothing to stress, desktop sim, c208, out PHOG.

Basic instrument skills, yes even on a desktop sim you still gotta look at the instruments. Turns to a heading, climb, steepturn for a maneuver, and vectors for an ILS back.

It's not state of the art in any way, shape or form. It's a PC and a joystick. Not graded on being smooth, just have the scan going. The rest of the questions and power setting are done by evaluator.

50 question instrument quiz as well, not timed, diagrams are provided for figure questions.

Any other questions PM me, good luck!

Much appreciated. I'll let you know how everything goes.

People are leaving for regionals. As far as I know, nobody has been fired recently. The DO was let go almost a year ago and two asst. CP's left for a regional job. It's nothing to be alarmed about, people are climbing that proverbial ladder. NM is not the DO, he's the CP unless that's changed in the 4 months I've been gone.

I have no idea what most new hires come onboard with concerning experience or total times. I have heard from this forum at least, and from a friend that has talked personally with some of the pilots that said for most of the pilots it's a first job. I have also heard that its not uncommon for really low time guys such as myself to get hired. Which begs a question for me at least. How are guys able to get on with a regional?

Most of the instructors at my current job don't really have a lot of multi time. I only have 50 hrs and I'm doing better than all of the guys that aren't teaching in the twin yet. So I am assuming that it must be very similar at other schools. Am I being naïve? Are the pilots at Seaport going and renting a Seminole somewhere or do they all have the multitime before hand?

I saw guys that rented twins to get multi time for regional but I also saw alot of guys renting 172's to get the night requirements to upgrade a SeaPort for the 135 requirements and or the ATP requirement for night flight.

Does the company provide any flexibility for employees with guard/reserve commitments of one weekend a month two weeks a year type drill periods? 5 on/2 off and commuting would make it very difficult if they could not. Would they entertain part time employment if the employee waived medical benefits? Who could I ask "informally" without starting interview process or hurt my chances of getting an interview due to being a square peg in a round hole type thing?

PerpetualFlyer

Is CH still there or was he the DO that was let go? He was at Pacific Wings before Seaport.

Interview gouge was pretty spot on. I did not find the core values though. I felt like a retard for that because that was one of the first questions. I also had a three panel interview. The CP, HR and the CEO. Had no idea who the CEO was until he told me. They made it a very relaxing environment. The 50 question test was pretty easy. Brush up on stuff I'd you don't know ifr part 91. There were a few I missed. And now for the SIM....as stated, table top with joystick. It took a second to get used to but in the end it was ok. I had a hard time flying it at first but it's really about your scan. I came out feeling great. They made it very relaxed overall and I had no complaints about it.
