Question about the VA interview process
 

Has anyone taken the psych test in the past? If so, how long did it take to get a response, either good or bad?

Skipper

If you didn't pass you will get the "Thanks but we are going to be pursuing other applicants" page after you submit it. Other then that I got the email to set up an interview a couple weeks after I took the test.

Thanks,

How was your interview? Good outcome?

Skipper

Yes. I got offered the position 2 weeks after the interview. The key to the interview is personality. We are definitely looking for people that like to have fun at work and fit into the culture here. So smile a lot and interact with all the people in the interview. Its a great place to work. Good luck!

because that's what it takes to be a competant pilot...fun at work. it wouldn't be quite as funny as it would if it was for a FA position.

my family will never fly on that flea bag outfit.

wow...

LOL...well stooge. That's why we have minimum requirements. It's highly unlikely that if you have 8000+ hours, numerous type ratings, and years of 121 experience that you aren't a competent pilot. So if you meet our requirements then we want to make sure that you will fit in. Its pretty obvious you failed the psych eval! :p

I have to ask...why would a "competent pilot" with "8000+ hours, numerous type ratings, and years of 121 experience" be willing to work for an uncompetitive wage in one of the most expensive areas in the US?

Right or wrong, I think the presence of a "competence gap" at VA is the perception of many pilots, who can't understand why folks would work for those wages. My family will never fly on VA, either.

You can add Spaceman to that list!!

VA is no better than Skybus and hopefully its fate will be the same.

And where would it be better? UAL? NWA? USAIR? AMR? CAL? Going to work for these guys now would be GREAT if you want to free up your schedule for the next 5 years once the furloughs start to get handed out. Right Spaceman? :rolleyes:
