The interview itself was pretty much a non event. Took the tests which are probably early high school level plus spatial orientation tests, multitasking tests, memory tests and mechanical aptitude tests. Then the interview itself was a 20min 1 on 1 with one of their staff. The questions were the usual, tell me about a time you used communication skills,tell me about a time you overcame some difficult challenge. How would you approach the lead CFI if you had a disagreement on something. There was zero aviation questions in the interview.

I don’t think I would do anything different. Perhaps practice long division (you WILL have it on the test). If anything I would say LIFT should hit the pause button for a couple of months to get their side figured out. Their building at KIND is still completely empty, they have no real answers to the questions on to what level they will sponsor students and Diamond cannot deliver the aircraft in time meaning the class hiring are being placed on hold after November to wait for aircraft deliveries. Don’t want to many students on premises with not enough aircraft. Letters went out to the first 75 selected for the first 3 classes this week.
