Interview Prep
 

What is ther best resource for preparing for an interview? I know there are a lot of gouge sites with questions and answers, but I am intersted in a book or other resource that will cover the concepts.

I wouldn't get yourself in too much of a hurry on that.

there is an old book, check amazon for interviws for pilots or something like that

Pilot Jobs and Employment Resources - Pilot Jobs Board, Pilot Salary and Pay Rates, Interview Gouge, Forums, Recruiting is great source.

Prior to my interview with eagle, I had the chance to sit down with an assistant chief pilot/ check airman/ training captain / hiring captain. He pretty much walked me through the process. It took me quite a bit of work to track him down. In the end it didn't pay off at all.

Eagle called me three days prior to my interview stating, "all hiring had been postponed indefinitely."

I love this business. Anyone know how much Instrument time SkyWest will want when things turn?

Interview Prep
 

What is the best resource for preparing for an interview or just reviewing aviation concepts? Books, websites...?

what's an interview?

Turbine pilots manual. Any aviation weather book. Know your systems for the most complex a/c you fly. Jepp plates, and all things ifr. Get together with other pilots/cfi's and learn from eachother. Professional prep a few months before the interview, to include crm and sim training. Congrats to yourself for trying to improve. While others are wallowing in self pity, you will be ready to go when the dam breaks.

It's where they look at you inside.

Just tell them you dream of flying 10 legs in a 16 hour duty day, unions are evil, and pay is unimportant.

Check out the book, " Airline Pilot Interviews" by Irv Jasinski. It is a pretty good book. It is a bit steep at $25, but invaluable if it gets you a job!

My local library has it in their shelves. Check in yours first, might save you 25 dls.

The only prep anyone should doing right now is preparing for the impending doom that is the death of the airline industry

This from a regional FO, that's rich!

Explain yourself...... Why is it "Rich"??? BTW congrats on your Lions finally ending their embarassment

Interview Help
 

Hi Guys,

There is a company called flightdeck consulting that specialises in airline pilot interviews. I used them for a regional airline and then again for my Cathay Pacific interview. Their help was invaluable and interestingly another guy from the UK also used them.

Send me a PM if you need their email.

Good Luck,
