Interviewed this past Monday. Had a Tentative Offer in my e-mail this morning.
That might be a new speed record record involving any facet of the government. Ever. |

I'm interviewing next week for a GA position. Any advice?
Like everyone here has said, the questions are straight off the KSAs. Sell your experience in your answers. Having an understanding of how SMS works is a big help to integrate into some of the questions as well. The interview is basically you talk, they listen and take notes.

CONGRATS!!! Glad to hear they are starting to make the calls. I know what y'all mean concerning 'not flying' for a living! I have been flying for about 30 years and I am definitely nervous about making the transition myself. doneandout Also either one of y'all can PM me and we could compare notes.:D |

I applied mainly to see how the process would play out, but I've only got 3.5 years of CFIing followed by a couple years of 135 freight under my belt. The stability and opportunities presented by the position are hard to walk away from, but I wonder if I'm stunting a whole dimension of my career development if I confine myself to a desk overseeing a field full of people with far more experience than me.

First off, congratulations to you guys.
My unsolicited .02 (disclaimer - I don't know anyone's reasoning nor personal situation), but if you doubt at all that you are going to miss the airline/corporate/whatever life, you should probably just keep flying for a living. If you don't have a motivator to make a big change, if you still love flying and identify yourself with that profession, in my personal opinion you may regret your decision to step away from it. Good luck with the next steps, whatever your decision may be! |

If this is what you think of the job then you haven't explored the opportunities that this position can lead too - to include flying opportunities.
Believe me I'm not trying to be pessimistic about it. I completely understand and appreciate the merits of the position, which is why I applied in the first place. I'm moreso having trouble self-evaluating that I measure up to the position despite it being offered to me. It'll pass once I hit training (assuming I receive and accept a FOL) and get some more perspective I'm sure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Btw - it isn't the end of flying. I know LOTS of FAA people that own their own planes in my local area. Now they fly for fun :)
