Default Comair Interview Jan 25

I arrived the night before 7 PM. Was coming in from Los Angeles, CA. Due to the fact that COMAIR rate at Holiday Inn was sold out I chose to stay at the Hilton Hotel! The have just completed a FULL SCALE renovation it is a 4 star place. Rooms are decorated nice, new beds and linens VERY VERY VERY Comfortable. Luxurious pillow top mattresses, down comforters, duvet, and plush down pillows in all guest rooms. • All new beautiful window treatments and furniture with a contemporary flair • Complimentary high-speed internet in all guest rooms.• New fitness center with state-of-the-art weight machine and cardio equipment. All of the crews from Express Jet Airlines stay here! Across the street is an AppleBee eatery. The rate was 89.00+ tax. After I ate dinner it felt great to work out and let loose the steam and stress for the next morning. They do have a business center and indoor pool as well. They do offer shuttle service between airport and the COMAIR facility which is mighty impressive! Now for the details on the interview: First off 8:15AM start time and those getting their a tad early can get the finger prints done. Then they moved us into the conference room for a briefing on company. After that was followed by a open form on FAQ. My schedule went something like this. 10-11:30 COG TEST. It was way different then I was expecting. No way to practice really. Relax, and stay calm during it. Stay on your toes things go fast during it! Then was lunch in their cafeteria with a $5.00 Coupon which buys you a lot! I got a nice wrap, salad, bread-sticks and drink 4.98 It was stuffed and felt more then a pound . After lunch was my 1-145 schedule on the FACE-FACE. It was a 2:1 format. The team which interviewed me were great. Kept me calm as best as they could. First guy asks the HR/Scenerio based questions. 1. Why Comair? 2. How did you learn about COMAIR out West? 3. You arrive into a hotel and Monday night football is on Capt. has a drink. Your within COMAIR 10hr policy how are you going to hand this situation? 4. How did you prep for this interview? 5. Did anyone from within COM AIR or Delta help you/mentor you? 6. I see you had failed check rides: Tell me about one and what you learned from it? Then for the tech portion: A flight dispatch package was shown to me. I was asked to read a METAR, Then shown a TAF with a (TEMPO) and asked do I need an alternate (YES). Then asked to describe an airmet, sigmet and valid times. All from that flight dispach form. Given a jepp chart (IAP for LGA-ILS). Asked to give a formal brief and appropriate action. Don't foreget to read the notes. I was also asked WX is such an such prior to FAF and after can you go down. Cause I had taken a formal CRM training was asked some things about it and if I were asked to teach it what would be involved in that lesson. GS intercept AGL or MEL and what MSA is and gives. That was it. I asked couple questions about their company and seems things will be moving in the correct direction upon DELTAs departure from Chapt. 11 in April. JFK seems to be the bet for FAST removal from Reserve. It has been 24 hrs. so far but no word. In my opinion my face to face was powerful and great. The cog was difficult for me but am optimistic! COMAIR would be a great place to start!
