Hey Guys,
Just arrived back from my XO interview, here are some details!

Interviewee experience breakdown

5-Interviewees
1- Charter 135 / Management
1- Furloughed National Airline
1- unemployed Corporate Pilot
1- Regional Pilot
1- Fractional

Good news for no internal rec wannabee's, I had no internal rec...Everyone else had an internal Rec.

Icebreaker dinner with management and HR the night before ( I enjoyed a beer, along with 3 other inerviewees)
Next Morning
Interview was approx 5 hours
Tour of the Facility
5 interview boards (2-3 interviewers per board) approx 30min each
questions varied from personal to professinal to technical, Very comprehensive. If you read and airline interview book and study up on 135 regs and aim, you will have no problem with the inteview.
I can tell you if you do come unprepared they will eat you up.

I really liked everyone I met! Considering how young the company is, its very well put together. We were told that we would most likely be in the 300 class, however its not set in stone.

I interviewed last thurs and I have not heard anything. I have a slight hunch I might not get an offer because of some home economic problems.
However, from what I know about the company, employees"s, and marketing model I truly beleive this place will be a huge success!
Hope this helps everyone,
Good Luck!

By last Thrusday, you mean on the 16th? I know they are pretty quick getting back with a call but I wouldn't give up just yet. At least give them the weekend.

Best of luck..

I received a call about 3 weeks ago and it was a phone interview/prescreen. I then recieved a email to fill out another application and a link for a personality test...

Hope that helps!

Jetjockee -

When it came to 135 regs and AIM - how indepth was it?
Also - what type of technical questions? Could you give a general description? Coming from the military side of the fence I have to admit that I(we) are weak in that area.

I think this info is very much desired by many of us, I know it goes for me at least.

Please share..
