Default Interview

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the forum and I have an interview next month. I'm looking for any advice on how to prepare for the Face to Face along with any current information on the interview questions/process. Thank you in advance!

Pay for good interview prep. FAPA and emerald coast have good reviews. Good prep includes practice and specific intel on what to expect. Don’t blow this by being a cheapskate. I know people say “just go in and be yourself.” Those people are 100% full of ****. Legacy interviews are formal and require good preparation. The interviewers want to see that you are prepared. A few hundred bucks now for prep can equate to a few million dollar career.

Aviation interviews is a subscription site with good reviews. I’d subscribe to it also-but there is no substitute for practicing real interview situations with real people.

Thank you very much for the quick response! Any help I can get is greatly appreciated. Between FAPA and Emerald, which would be more beneficial for the AA interview?

Not sure.

Been a long time, but fapa gals all used to be hr people at AA.

I’m not familiar with centerline, but they sound good too. I think all the big name ones should be able to prepare you well.

I like the idea of preparing for a particular airline. I really don’t believe in the “our prep will get you ready for any interview” approach. Some people say that works, but I’m skeptical.

Specific intel is good. The more specific the better. I really think airlines like that.

You do want to be yourself at the interview. Unless you’re an idiot. Then try to fake it like crazy and we’ll hope the interviewers sniff it out.

Be prepared. Depending upon your age it pays about $450,000 a year at the end. Seven year value if you upgrade is about $275,000. If that’s chump change you can blow it off. It that’s real money to you then be prepared so that you can achieve it.

You obviously haven't seen AA's IT department.

What’s the lag between video invite and F2F interview? A month? So a successful candidate would be looking at roughly three months from video invite to class?
