The interview was a great experience. 8am at the training facility, there were 5 other folks interviewing. We were brought back as a group to hear a brief introduction to the Interviewers and AirTran.

After that, we were taken back one at a time for our interviews.

One with a 717 CKA, tell me about a in-flight emergency you had, tell me about a difficult experience with another crew member.

Another with a 737 line pilot...more 'tell me about a time' questions,

Then last for me was with HR. "Why AirTran?", "What are your strengths?", Weaknesses? And they made a big deal out of disclosing any past indiscretions.

I was done by 1pm. It was a great experience and they made it a point to put you at-ease. They all said multiple times that if they called you, you already had the job, you had to work to change their minds during the interview process.

I had no internal letters of rec, but when I was there waiting on my interview, I saw two other pilots from my old company who were in training.

They place a list of names to interview in the training center break room and leave it up for a week or so for comments. If you know someone there, they can check that list and see if your name is on it.

Best of luck!
