Interview Invite
 

Hey AW pilots,

Got an interview invite and was curious on how to best prep for it? It’s in person as well it looks like. Is Aviation Interviews site a good option? Thanks in advance!

I just recently interviewed with AW. I used Aviation Interviews and was hired on the spot in Chicago during the interview. Best of luck!

they ask questions about approach plates, everyone gets hired. Best of luck. TM

Awesome thanks guys for the replies and info!

Flight from ORD to DCA. Planned route to runway 22 I believe, look for hotspots. ORD 6, and the Freedom 5 arrival, with the ILS 1 at KDCA. They also asked about a published hold on the arrival, and a published hold on the missed. They will let you choose between Jeppesen or FAA Charts.

January Class Date
 

So got the CJO after an interview in November. ATP-CTP 1st for me then INDOC of course all beginning in January. Any advice/tips before diving into this? I asked at the interview if there was anything they send out to prep, but it sounded like nothing until class showtime really. Thanks in advance!!!

Best advice, interview at a few other places before you jump on this titanic .Then choose wisely .

Nothing to worry about for the ATP/CTP, buy Sheppard air and start cranking through the test bank if you want to be really ahead of the game. It doesn’t really matter if you understand the questions, you just need to know what the answers are. You’re never going to do a spaghetti chart performance calculation in the 121 world.

Do what they tell you to do. Make friends, find some study buddies. Weeknights in ATW are for studying. Get back from class, get a workout/walk or something in, grab a quick bite then dive back in to the books. Don’t go home on the weekends, but don’t burn yourself out either. Take either Saturday or Sunday as a personal day and let the learning simmer. I personally went out after class Friday night, then spend Saturday doing a little RNR then light studying at night. Sunday was a half day of studying for me, early to bed and then back at it.

When they tell you to show up knowing flows/callouts on day one of CPT, they mean it. You should be able to sit in front of a paper tiger and run through every single PM/PF flow and callout with no assistance. Don’t waste any downtime between systems in ATW and CPT.

When you show up to the sim, don’t be shy. Do what you’re supposed to do like you’ve already been doing it on the line. If you have to get a ton of prompting on day 1 and take an hour to get off the gate it’ll hurt the entire rest of your sim time. If you get ahead of schedule now you can buy some extra time to really fine-tune the things that you need to work on.

don’t get frustrated if one instructor tells you to do it one way and another instructor tells you to do it another. It’s likely technique, not a rule, and it’s probably for your benefit. Cooperate and graduate. Have a good attitude and show up well prepared every day and you’ll be fine.

That is great advice that will get you through any airline training program.

☝🏻Good stuff! Thank you!
