lol yeah, I heard stories about the neighbor in Inyokern, but was fortunate enough not to meet the guy. The place was clean, but my standards aren't exactly high.

Never stayed in Merced, but Oakland was decent too.

Who am I kidding, I was just happy to have been able to swing by In n Out on the long drive there!

Default FO interview

Hello, I was just looking for some insight on the FO phone screening interview and the official interview. Has anyone done this and what questions did they ask? I applied and would like to be ready if they call. Thanks!!!

Looking at the times possibly a short 9 hour overnight?

From searching the threads it seems the crew houses are an issue.

Has anyone stayed at the crew house utilized for BWI crews?

Thank you,

The crew house is in Massena, not Albany. But when things break or the WX is particularly crappy, a hotel in Albany does happen occasionally.

The crew house in Massena is free of scorpions and centipedes. Two bedroom apartment, captain and FO have separate beds and bathrooms. Typical overnight is right around 10 hrs off duty.

There are two crew houses in Denver. One is often used for training classes, the other for transient crews- but that gets adjusted by need. In my training class the house was full, double occupancy in both rooms. The house was professionally cleaned once a week, and well stocked with leftover cereal bars, oatmeal packets, and creamy peanut butter. Also no scorpions or centipedes.

Gone now. Scorpions and centipedes got 'em. Hungry pilots got the bugs.

There was a proposal not long ago to stock the crew houses with boxes of Captain Crunch. But then someone raised the concern of what FO's would eat, and nothing more came of it.

I thought it was pretty funny when I moved into the crew house for initial training and saw some non perishables with somebody's name on it.

"When were they here last?"

"Six months ago."

Would be a bigger problem if they were perishables...
