Default Regional Interview questions do's and don'ts

Im looking into interviewing at multiple companies (places I have to real desire to accept an offer from) just to get a gouge on an airline interview to be better prepared for the companies (top 3) I would want to join.

I'm curious about questions you've asked during an interview?


I'm curious about asking about the condition of contract with airlines and what the long term outlook of them look like. Granted, the interviewer/recruiter may just spit out junk I want to hear and not give a straight answer..

I guarantee that is exactly what they will spit out.

Ok since you asked Do and donts

DO: make sure to have a pulse

Don’t: not have a pulse

Any recruiter worth their salt will have pleasant sounding answers to all your concerns, even if the airline is a rolling dumpster fire.

You can get a SODA for a slow pulse, or for a fast pulse, even for an irregular pulse.

Not sure you can get one for NO pulse though.

Seems like it would be easier to use an interview prep service than wasting time interviewing with someone you won't accept a job offer from. As for questions asked during an interview, there are websites that cover that, the one I know of is: www.aviationinterviews.com

I used that site in 2005 for my NetJets interview and was only asked 2 questions I hadn't already seen. And one of those was a situational question like "What would you do if the Captain was landing hot and long and ignored your suggestion to go around?"

Key the radio: "Tower, Flight XYX is going around".

"Do you want the flaps now?"
