Not really a choice, there's the standing preferential bid, but they will place you where you can hold that seniority.

Ok...When the time comes...I hope to be able to hold FLL. No sense in leaving home.....SE Florida that is. I live in WPB, however my girlfriend works for the School of Medicine at UM and lives in Pembroke Pines (out Pines Blvd close to I-75).

Pretty much all of them...things could change. No telling what will happen with new bases and Saab.

Anybody from the May 3 interview hear anything back? I can't get a hold of anyone in HR.

Any gouge in general.
Did you take the 50 question test?
Do any Frasca work?
Types of interview questions.

Thanks for your help.

Laid back questionnaire: tell us about your education, bad captain stories, customer service.

ATP test with 80% pass req.

Frasca t/o hold and ils. All guided.

No sweat. I passed on the job though. Good luck

Those of you have gone through getting in through recent months...how did they contact you to give you a class start date? Mail - phone - email or?

I am curious what to watch for...look forward to meeting some of you if I get in!

There is a gouge on WillFlyFor Food under Gulfstream International Airlines.
I found it to be spot on.


Interview Questions from Captain/Union rep & CP:
Any failed check rides?
Any DUIs?
Any emergencies that you have had.
No TMAAT questions, thank goodness.
Any problem flying multiple leg days with Silver?
No tech questions.
Very low key, non threatening. :)


Frasca 142 sim was set up like the Beech 1900.
Pitch & bank extremely difficult to keep on target. If you look away more than a few seconds, you will be off altitude & heading. No stability. I got some recent Frasca practice, which helped. Instructor apologized for sim & was not looking for stick & rudder perfection, just procedures. T.O., one hold & one ILS to landing. No failures. I was off a dot high on ILS, due to the sim, but broke out & landed. I thought I could have done better, (don’t we all...) but instructor seemed OK with my performance.


50 question test with some FAR part 91, & 121 regs & ATP type questions.
I studied my Gleim book, which helped, but the questions appear to be created "in house", not directly from a real FAA test.
