Interview - basic IFR/regs test while they go over your logbook. HR/tech with CP, Director of Training (maybe, we just got a new one), or someone along those lines. I found out on the spot I got it, I think that's normal.
Just ran a new hire class, with attrition they'll need more (upgrading too). Last class was a split of EWR and CLE. EWR is generally the more junior base and definitely the more fun base.
The plane is great, the crews are great, the company doesn't give a rat's rear about you, ALPA seems to have the same feelings as the company.
It's a small company, everyone knows everyone which is pretty nice. If you can just get good at calling the company out on BS and ignoring the ALPA rah-rah, it's not a bad place to get your regional time.
Of course, I'm just a pilot. Your mileage may vary. But I have stayed at a couple Holiday Inn Expresses in the last few weeks.
