When you sign up for an Emerald Coast Interview Prep, they will send you audio prep to go through before beginning the course. As of early last year, you could only listen to it form a laptop or PC, but they may offer a disc or mp3 version now. That would certainly be a great time to listen to prep. The only other thing I could think of is an audiobook about interviewing, aviation or not. Good luck!

 

I've taken the day long seminar and audio portion of ECC twice; however, I'd already called them and as of now they do not have the audio in a format where I could put it on CD or MP3 player.

 

Well EC audio prep is probably not necessarily what you're looking for, since you've already done it. But I do strongly recommend a phone review with EC the night before the interview. Instead you can either practice your HR responses by having a family member in the car ask you HR questions from the list, and you can practice those over and over.

If its tech gouge you need, my buddy says he got a Gleim ATP audio prep from the appstore. It's the entire ATP question bank which that alone will get you a passing score on the tech test, its just painfully long.

 

Global = Global Hawk?

If so, how many of your hours? From indoc class last week, straight from the CP: "I don't think we'll ever consider drone pilots."* If your TT and/or IP times minus RPA time are not competitive, then perhaps you did end up in the unqualified stack. Also, which is most recent? If you're currently/most recently flying RPAs, then your flight currency (i.e., lack thereof) could be at issue.

Of course, this could also be the case that many, many others have made here that there's a tall stack of apps being waded through right now. Other than sitting in the room last week and hearing the CP make that statement, I have no insight into how folks are selected to interview. I have no opinion on whether excluding RPA time is "right" or "wrong," just that it is evidently the policy at DAL.


*I'm pretty sure the intent was that drone hours/experience are excluded from consideration of pilot hours/experience, not that anyone who has ever flown an RPA is unhireable.

 

Im pretty sure he means global express. the AF has 3 globals that they fly around in an undisclosed location doing communication network bridging. I did it in 2010, it was a blast. The only bad part is the location.

 

Is that the BACN? (Mmmmmmm, BACN....)

If so, my bad for misinterpreting....

 

yes haha. I don't even know that we have global hawk pilots per se. Theyre programed to takeoff, fly their mission, and land without any intervention. Its actually one of the design flaws of the global hawk that they've probably since worked out, that you couldn't change the flight plan enroute.

 

Have your wife drive, so you can ride shotgun and study...that's what I do on road trips!

 

I'd say one question on the MMPI matters most; "Have you stolen anything?" Most companies that give this test look at this question. If you are answering honestly, its an easy question to answer.

 

Don't try to "game" or out-think the MMPI. It's devised by psychologist Phd's.

Don't prepare for it.

Just answer honestly.
