I figured I was a "shoe in" when I applied, three weeks later no response. It wasn't until I called them that I got an interview scheduled. |

Make sure you do the online application too. Don't be shy, they have a recruiter in BUR, call 1-800-800-4JET and ask for pilot recruiting, I doubt anyone would be offended if you call.

Did you already have your interview? were some of the gouges out there similar to what the interview was like?
As far as the interview goes, the gouges on willflyforfood and aviationinterviews were good. Heck, even reading the ameriflight.com interview prep was very helpful. I'm sure it's getting tighter and more comprehensive where things are getting more competitive. Any way you look at it, it's to your advantage to study hard. Just getting past the initial interview won't get you the job, the first week of ground school is considered "part of the interview." And just passing your checkride doesn't mean your first couple weeks flying solo in hard IFR will be easy. Be prepared, study and practice. Back to the interview, the sim eval was the hardest part for me (plan tight turns and short segments, if it's too tight, you might even consider entering a holding pattern, be sure to make the report as you enter it: time, position and altititude). If you're interviewing in BUR, find the toughest Socal approaches and practice them (ie. LGB, BUR, RIV). |
When I put people through the sim evaluation this is where most of them screw it up. SMO-BUR. LAX 316R to SILEX...DIRECT. Someone please tell me how you would fly that approach of you DID NOT receive vectors onto the approach. This is where I fail 90% of the applicants.
It all has to do with proper knowledge of Jeppesen chart symbology, IFR knowledge, and TERPs procedures. |
