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?

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.
How was your interview? Good outcome?

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!

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.

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!

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?
