Here's a copy & paste gouge from August...
I can not stress the importance of interview prep & sim prep in Denver prior to the interview. I was well prepared which results in confidence rather than being nervous. Practice your TMAAT questions until your delivery is smooth.
Arrived to the DEN TK :30 early
Met w Doris. She reviewed my paperwork & submitted log books etc. She gave me an "A+"
Called in to interview:15 early for my 2 person panel interview: DEN Chief Pilot & HOU HR (who I met in person a month prior)
They went over rules of engagement (stories could be aviation or non-aviation)
Was asked a couple "ice breaker" achievement questions on resume
Take 5 minutes going over your resume & career
TMAAT you resolved a problem w the help of others
TMAAT you helped someone w a task that didn't ask for it
TMAAT you had a conflict at work & how you resolved it
TMAAT you lost credibility w a coworker
What are attributes of a good/great captain?
Anything else you would like us to know?
As previously posted, they're great about putting you at ease. 3/4 through the interview, it seemed like the panel turned the corner & spoke to me as a fellow coworker/new hire rather than a pilot candidate.
Sim @ LAX:
T.O. Rwy 25L to 3,000', vectors, climbs ect. 1-360* steep turn @ 5000'. Climb to 10,000' accelerate to 270KIAS, vectors. Descend to 3000' for vectors to ILS 25R. Missed appch to 2000'. Auto pilot on: LAX closed due to a security breech. Poor WX, low fuel, what are you going to do?
A hiring board meets w/in 2 weeks & makes a final decision. I received the conditional offer 8 days later via phone call from Doris (who's a sweetheart). Relax & be yourself. United wants & needs pilots due to the huge retirements. Just like anything; if you put in the work, the results will payoff in the end.

Bump.
Passed the Hogan, on to the face to face. I've already purchased Emerald Coast for FedEx prep, but I believe I've read somehwere that there are other prep services more in tune with United. Do you feel Emerald will suffice or should I purchase one of the other services?
