Interview: phone straight forward. One question: Why Atlas?
Interview MIA: Employment History: Background, favorite job
Technical: TAF, approach brief
Panel: Why Atlas? Bad Captain, Suspect Alcohol, How did you get to flying...etc.
Overall, good interview. Very thorough, very professional. I did not feel intimidated at all. After a couple of days, I realized I had no idea how I did. I think that is/may be good. Why? They want a fit...super long haul and many days gone. Why did I get the offer?...I'm full of BS...LOL.
Honestly, I really wanted it. I think it is a great outfit. Ask me by Christmas.
I don't think I would have gotten the job if I had interviewed now...but that shouldn't be the reason for anyone to be discouraged. You need to rise to the occassion and knock their socks off. That is what performing under pressure is all about...like making a tough approach, in bad weather, fighting heavy x-winds.
Good luck to you all. It is a good company, and work life is getting better. We have good fleet, good future, good business plan, and great group of guys to work with.
