Guys, I was asked in the interview about junior manning. Basically forced overtime. I have had to do forced overtime with every job I have ever had and in many cases forced overtime without extra pay. With that said, how many of those 14 days off a month will a new guy be working in December? Are we talking a couple of extra days or basically forget being home in December because of the overtime?
Also, can anyone post a typical line for a pilot?
How far along are the pilots in getting a new contract? Any details on a new contract?
Interview stuff part 2.0:
I did ask about ATI in my interview and whether the majority of the Amazon flying will go to them because they appear to have lower labor costs. Probably wasnt the smartest question to ask them because WTH do I know about ATSG's business model but I asked it anyways. It was on my mind because it only makes sense to give the flying to whoever can perform the job the cheapest. I dont want to go to ABX Air and watch ATI get all the growth. Basically, I was told that there is enough business for both companies, holding companies are the norm in aviation, and ATI's labor aren't necessarily lower because they have home basing. The interviewing folks were all super cool about the question but I am not sure I would ask anything about ATI if I had to do it all over again.
Here are the other interview questions I now remember:
1. What do you think about junior manning?
2. Tell me about a time you made a decision based on the facts and you should have used your emotions?
3. Tell me about a time when you ignored an SOP or checklist?
4. Tell me about a time you had a conflict with someone you worked with?
5. Tell me about a time you missed a flight or a deadline.
6. Tell me about a time you put something off?
7. Tell me how you organize upcoming events (or something like that)
8. Tell me about the airplane you are currently flying
9. Tell me about yourself
10. Why ABX Air?
11. Tell me your biggest pet peave?
12. Do I mind sitting right seat for a long time? (or something close to that)
Once again, I answered everything 100% honestly (even if it made me look stupid). I have a good job right now and I didn't see a need to BS anything. If I can get to the sim portion then so can anyone else.
Thanks a million.
