I also interviewed with gohfastur.

His writeup was perfect.

The questions are different from interviewer to interviewer, but as others have suggested, have 10-15 stories that you can switch between to make it fit the situation.

Next, and most important (obvious for most). ALWAYS BE POSITIVE.

other than that, gohfastur's post was right on.


Hope this helps

Still no call but 3 people I know who have been invited for an interview were all caps with pic and at least 6k hours. Guess fo's are out this round.

I checked, and they said that the ERAU Expo will have JetBlue there, but it is for the University Gateway program. They go to ERAU Prescott this week, then Daytona next week. Also visit UND, Auburn, Jacksonville U, and a few others later this month. This is all for the CapeAir-ExpressJet feeder program.

As a ERAU alumni, thank you for clarifying this. I was considering attending the expo in Daytona, but don't live local. Guess I'll keep holding out for a phone call until WIA.

Also, thanks again recent interviewees for the insight!

My understanding is (from someone inside Blue) that they will be taking resumes the same way it is done at other career fairs.

I am an alumni, I have been to the expo every year for the past 3 years. Pilot recruiters ARE present, they will take your resume, and the lines are nowhere NEAR what they are at WIA or OBAP. Also, of the people that the recruiters get to talk to, most are applying for the University Gateway program or some other job at B6 (safety, internships, etc.). When you walk up to the recruiters with a lot of industry experience and some quality time on your resume, you stand out from the rest of the crowd.

United and Southwest were accepting resumes last year. Delta was not accepting resumes last year, not sure what the plan is this year. Also not sure about AA/Airways.

If you're on the fence about attending, I would definitely go.

Im on the fence purely because I know my times arent competitive yet (2400TT, mostly 121), however I keep hearing about regional FO's getting picked up with 3000TT.

Never too early to start networking. 5000TT is the unpublished minimums for civilian. That's not to say guys haven't been hired with less. 3000TT would be pretty surprising though. Maybe 1 or 2 with amazing connections.
