Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
When they phone you and if they don't get a response ie VM they tend to call the person on the list. A friend was out flying and got a call, by the time he was able to call HR they had filled all the interview slots. He missed (due to flying and call tag) 2 interview slots and when he was hired he actually missed 2 classes (and thus seniority) from this.

Got the call the interview next week if my schedule works out so I can make it to YIP in time otherwise gotta wait until June.

Former regional guy but made the jump a few years ago to a left seat position at a 91/135 operator to get some Turbine PIC time.
Talked with the woman from the HR department yesterday she was very nice and layed out the interview process for me.
Day 1- Meet and greet, sit down with chief pilot and some HR people. Some standard tech questions and "tell me about a time" "why should we hire you". Just getting to put a face to your resume it seems. If all goes well they invite you back for day two.
Day 2- drug test, paperwork, sim eval, show you around.
Very excited for the opportunity, did I miss anything? Anyone who is current right seat there have any advice?

As for the sim, know how to enter a hold, and intercept an ils with no FD or automation. I assume the sim eval is the same, but more critically looked at? I didn't interview with the new system.
