Hey guys, like i said before Im new to the forum here so im learnin the ropes around here. Figured I would just start my own thread considering I get barked at in other threads if I ask a question thats already been asked Ive been combing through threads all day and finding good information here and their but than i find someone else saying something different! lol. Anyway Im currently a jump pilot and just recently hit Eagles mins, ive got my airlineapps updated with my times and ratings (805/103 CMEL, CSEL, Ins, CE-550 Sic) IF i get that call from them I was wondering what to expect? What is the best possible material to prepare for what Eagle is going to throw at me? Ive been told in other threads of people gettin picked up with similar times as me, anybody else heard of people right at minimums gettin called in? ANY and ALL information is welcome

Thanks

 

Have a good attitude and know your IFR charts and regs. They want to hire you. Don't give them a reason not to.

Scroll down and click on the interview gouge link.

 

That gouge on apc is pretty good, i just didnt know if it was current or not. Also do you think i stand a chance of gettin a call without a CFI or anything? especially right at minimums.

 

Welcome to the forums (finally)!

You have the flight time, with or without the CFIs, so go ahead and apply and they'll call you if they need you. Get your ATP written, your logbooks up to date, and start studying for the interview.

I'm using these for my interview at Compass in 2 weeks:
- Turbine Pilot's Flight Manual
- Everything Explained for the Professional Pilot
- Airline Pilot Technical Interviews: A Study Guide

Here are some recent Eagle interviews - American Eagle Pilot Interview Profiles.

 

I read the whole book of Everything Explained for the professional pilot. Also I read "airline pilot interview" & the introduction of the Jeppesen Airway Manual. That should be enough to read.

Here is the interview book I told ya...

Amazon.com: Airline Pilot Interviews: How You Can Succeed in Getting Hired /921T (9780942195019): Irv Jasinski: Books

(It's only for human resources)

Eagle was my first airline interview, got hired and I'm in the line now.

Hired with 1375tt/105me/1200 PIC

 

I got the interview and the pre-offer and eventually a class date at 805/200. As for preparing for it learn the Jepp plates, learn what takeoff minimums are and mean. use the gouge provided under the Eagle information page, another gouge can be found at willflyforfood.com both are very good.

 

Thanks for all the good info! How long ago was your interview? Makes me feel a little better knowing they called you up with those times!

 

The "Introduction to Jeppesen navigation charts and the DFW diagram/plates/Dept/arrivals.
When I did mine 2 months ago I could have easily got by with just looking at that. The rest was common knowledge

 

Message me or email me at atpjen at hotmail dot com and I can share a study guide with you that someone was kind enough to send me. He had a successful interview recently and I have an interview in a couple weeks. They most certainly are hiring people right at the mins, but I had a bit more time. Make sure you have the following to before an interview: FCC radio license, passport, English proficiency endorsement on ur license, certified copies of college transcript or high school diploma and certified copy of a 5 year driving history. You must bring this to the interview.
