Job interview with Seaport Airlines
Hey there my name is William and I'm from Memphis, TN. I have a job interview for Seaport Airlines this coming monday 8/21/2009. This company is a Scheduled part 135 flying Pilatus PC-12. This is my 1st real interview outside of flight instructing and I was wondering what to expect. The only thing the guy told me was to brush up on my regulations and my system. My only clue was he was talking about Part 91 and the systems of the planes I'm currently flying. Does anything think they are going to want me to whip out a PC-12 AFM or answer tough 135 reg questions? Let me know thanks!

I hope that you'll come back after the interview and share what you learned.

Oh yea its 8/31/2009 sorry and thanks! I've been looking up at the 135 stuff a little and I, for the 1st time, noticed that for IFR 135 pax carrying... you have to have an SIC on board (FAR 135.101). B/c I realize the PC-12 is single pilot certified and you don't even have to get typed, just simcom or flightsafety. I'm getting nervous about it, but I know I should. I'm really good at interviewing becuase I'm honest and know my stuff; this is just the first real airline interview! They said I will be in a PC-12 sim for the eval flight, so I hope it's not too tough to fly.

Yea I'm just crazy about aviation and I just want to get out of flight instructing so bad. It gets old having a wierd, messed up schedule all the time. I'm ready for a set schedule and flying a lot! And I have excellent instrument and communication skills so I know that'll be a plus. My ultimate goal in life is to fly an A340-600 doing overseas operations. I will even move far away for that chance

How will this look when I want to move to an airline that will glace at my multi time? B/c I know I'm only getting single engine turbine. I know the fact that it's Part 135 and turbine will be great... but I'm curious how the multi part will play in the future.
