Thanks for the details. I was told I have to do my for-real interview in person but maybe I can ask to do it video chat instead.
I have my interview prep scheduled and am glad to hear it helps. Once I have done it I am assuming they will help me see what’s important for me to study based on what I already know. I just felt like being helicopter only they are expecting me to learn airplane stuff before I’ve done my airplane transition training to get the RTP funds. Am I misreading the situation?
My recruiter also suggested those two books and am planning on getting them. Good luck with your actual interview.

I’m in the same exact shoes you are. Also RTP. I just had an “interview prep” a couple of days ago. This was an online interview via Montage (like Skype). I spoke with a CRJ Captain out of Salt Lake City and he gave me the rundown on what to study for and the interview process in detail. I would contact your recruiter and ask for this interview prep if possible. It was a huge help.
Also, my recruiter suggested two books to help get ready. I ordered them from Amazon and they are absolutely invaluable as they literally cover everything to get ready for the interview. These books are: “The Turbine Pilot’s Flight Manual” and also “Everything Explained for the Professional Pilot”. You’re knowledge at the interview is expected to be at the First Officer level even if you have zero fixed wing time (like me).
Also aviationinterviews.com has great info but they do require a membership fee. Absolutely well worth it. Tons of great info along with a huge database of questions etc.
I’m doing my “for real interview” in a couple of weeks also online via Montage video interview.
Anyway, hope this helps and good luck.
