is very appealing to me compared to some others that I do have the time for as far as regionals.

But seriously if one of you guys would be up for putting in a referal for me I'll give you my email/phone.
Seperate question. What did you all use as far as interview prep etc. I didn't do so well on my last interview (caught off guard...long story). If you have some recomendations on a good book(s) I'm all ears at this point. Looking at
Airline pilot interviews, Checklist for success, Flight plan to the Flight Deck, and one from amazon
Sell Yourself!: Master the Job Interview Process . Anyone have/read these?
Thanks all.
The interview process when I went through was divided into three: Technical, Jepp, and Personality (Human Resources). For the technical just make sure you know your aircraft, particularly the one you flew the most multi in. For the Jepp I strongly recommend you get your hands on Mexico plates and Hi/Lo enroute charts, make the investment I believe you can get them for about $98.00, and study the key, study MEA's, MOCA's. the works; just be very familiar with non-precision approaches in Mexico and how to brief them. Basically be on top of your instrument rules and regulations.
For your HR interview, well, there's not much prepping you can do for that one, just be yourself, be humble, and whatever you do, don't try to lie about anything...be honest.
They are basically IMHO, trying to determine two things in the process: Are you trainable, and can you get along with someone for 4 days. Best of luck, here's a web site with more inside for you:
