Studying for interview
 

What is a good source of study info for an airline interview, now that Sheppard Air ATP no longer works?

Start here , first result.

Thanks, I also know about Emerald Coast. Both look to be good places, but I was thinking more along the lines of ATP exam questions, such as Sheppard used to have.

Sucks that I have their software on my computer, but I cannot use it. Grrrr..... :(

What happened to Sheppard Air? Why doesn't is work?

Show up, don't stab the interviewer, receive a class date

Seriously for a regional interview, make sure to show up on time, and bring what they tell you to bring. Make sure they can find your pulse.

If you are worried about that then just go to willflyforfood or aviation interviews and all the gouges are on there.

You don't even need a pulse, just a warm body. They can revive you.

Since Aug 2014 has come and gone, they don't support their 121ATP software anymore. So when I try to log in and review, it won't let me. A call to customer support yielded nothing except a suggestion to buy GLEIM/ASA software, or buy SA "Airline Interview Prep".

I used the interview prep to refresh myself on the ATP stuff I'd gotten rusty on before my interview. I found it to not be useful for the interview as they didn't ask me any question ATP related. However it was still worth the $40 as a refresher.

I recently used Sheppard's Airline Interview Prep to get ready for an XJT interview. I recognized 41 of the 45 questions on the XJT test from the Sheppard's software.

May I ask who you interviewed with?

Thanks for that. Did you get the job? If so, what plane and base?

Got it. CRJ.

If the airline you're planning to interview with administers an ATP style written test (many of the regionals do), then the SA airline prep software will be good for that. If you're a previous customer of theirs, SA gives you a discount on the software.

The software is essentially the same as the 121 ATP test prep but with a somewhat reduced bank of questions. No figures/charts etc.

Endeavor, was almost all tell me about a time questions. They might have asked 2 technical questions. The gouge that was given to me by another recent hire was pretty much dead on. Everyone in our group of 5 got hired.

Watch the Jepp 'Chart Clinic' videos; its likely your interview will involve conversations around approach plates & enroute charts. A few companies have Sim ride and send you some limitations & profiles in advance. Learn them & good luck..

Unless you are interviewing at Skywest, most airlines just want to see if you are IFR proficient, since apparently a lot of people walk in and can't even brief an approach. Start with willflyforfood or aviationinterviews. Also don't assault the interviewer and you'll have a job.

That is not true at all! They are still supporting that software, actually several SIM centers are either recommending or including the ATP prepware in their courses. Even ATP Flight School has added it to their course. Your UN and password will expire with SA so if you bought it a while back whether you took the written or not it expired. If you have in fact taken the written then you do not get a renewal. They suggested you buy the interview prep because that's the product they provide for that purpose not a renewal of the entire ATP database.

All of this information is on their website. It is still by far the easiest way to do well on the ATP or interview test!

Now they have the ATM, not the ATP. But you are correct, the software "rental" expires after one year; I did not catch that when I bought it. :(

Kind of unfair, IMHO, that I cannot access the software that resides on MY computer, that I paid for, even if it's not updatable. But, them's the breaks, I guess.

I get what you're saying and kind of agree but they do say on their site that you are paying for the right to use their database for a limited time, not the right to the software. Either way if you bought the ATP/ATM you should still be able to buy the interview software subscription for $19.

Definitely use SAs interview test prep. It lists the regionals it prepares you for. For my interview, it was a written test with the questions taken right out of the SA prep. definitely worth the money and got me the job. They know this information is out there, they just want to make sure you care enough to go out and get it and prepare.

But what everyone has been saying about briefing approaches and knowing basic instrument stuff is key. They want to make sure you're a strong instrument pilot.

It is a universal standard of intellectual property that applies to every program on your computer or mobile device. You didn't buy the software. You paid for a license: the right to use it for a definitive period of time under specific terms. The terms are in the document that we all "agree" to, but never actually read.

Well, I have been flying my butt off these past two weeks, multiple IFR flights and instrument approaches. If I am not ready by now, then I need to be a truck driver!!

They're looking for the knowledge stuff too...know your Jepp charts!!! Can't recommend the SA interview prep enough.... its atp questions you won't know unless you study
