I hope people would just stop applying at BTQ, their hiring practices clearly still are nothing but a clown show.

I bet you'll hear from them again in 6 months. Or like another friend of mine, he "passed" both interviews, then got a "thanks but no thanks" 8 months later.

This is crazy. I can't pass judgement on it as a company yet, but the experience with PlaneSense was overwhelmingly better than with BTQ. I heard about whether or not they liked my app within a week of submission, I got the call to interview less than a week after that, and once I interviewed I got the offer call 8 days later. Surely the two companies are seeing a similar amount of resumes.

Yeah no ****. I applied at Tradewind, got the "screening" call in a week or so, scheduled the Skype interview (both HR and technical at the same time). At the end of that interview the asst. chief pilot who did my technical interview said he's going to recommend me for the sim eval. Next day they called to schedule that and book my flights for the sim, 3 days later I fly up there, get my rental car, drive to the hotel (all this provided by the company obviously), do my sim ride next morning, and get the job offer next business day. Class date 1.5 weeks from that.

I had similar experience with PlaneSense than you although I ended up cancelling my interview. I had my interview scheduled but it was later than my class date at TW, and they could only promise me a class date (if successful) in 2-3 months from successful interview, so I told them thanks but no thanks. Still - their HR seemed very nice and professional throughout the process.

Boutique HR just seems like a bad joke.

Well I'm glad to hear its not that BTQ is just ignoring me. Applied for the FO position and haven't heard anything at all, in months, other then the automated email it sends out saying thanks for applying.

I've been playing phone tag for a week for the technical interview. Sat next to the phone all day Saturday...not impressed.
BTW, what's the 'technical' like?

For a week :-) it took 6 months for me.
Pretty basic ifr stuff and a couple of scenario based questions. Easy interview

No surprises on the technical- know systems of your current aircraft, how to brief an approach, and basic ifr stuff.

Maybe a tmaat or a wwyd scenario.

Best way to fastrack an interview/groundschool date is to have an internal reference.

Gotcha. Who wants to recommend me? :-)
I'm a good guy lol.

Toddzilla

I would help you out but I've got one foot out the door! They probably don't want suggestions from me anymore lol

Go to Tradewinds , Planesence , Molulele , Southern Air Express , keep looking . In 3 months you can probably go to be a captain at a 135 somewhere . Guarantee when you have 1200 they will give you the job within 3 days.
