Hey piper, I'm also in the March 3rd class. Interview date was Feb. 12th.

I would send a PM but I don't think I can yet.

 

Stoki, send me an email

 

Hey, e-mail sent.

 

Hey guys,

I was wondering if Stoki and Piper338 could tell me about ur interview experience, I am scheduled to interview with Piedmont on March 5th and wanted to get the most up to date info I could.

Thanks

 

First and foremost, everyone there is really nice. They fly you to the CLT the night before your interview (stay at the homestead) there will many others there from PDT, in fact I should be there. Feel free to ask questions everyone is really helpful. You will take the 6 a.m. bus to the U.S. Airways training center Mr. Trout will gather you up and take you to the class room where you will take a 50 question ATP style test. Read the gauges they are accurate, go over jepp plates, IFR procedures and weather. If I remember correctly there is also a few 121 regs. They give you plenty of time to complete the test then they will call out the ones who do not pass.

You will then be giving an approach plate and a document that tells you what they expect from you during the sim. The dash-8 sim is always full so you will fly a King Air PCATD.

Lastly they will call you in for the HR interview, for me it was Mr. Trout and one other guy. They may or may not ask some technical questions they did ask me a few, but they were easy and just evolved Jepp plates.

Remember relax and have fun.

 

I agree with what is said above. Read the gouges, and study the said material. www.mypilotcareer.com/piedmont.htm is a good one, and aviation interviews. Those two websites are pretty complete with what you can expect. Like it has been said, just relax, and be yourself. Study the gouges, the IFR procedures, and you should be OK. The sim is pretty much some vectors, a hold, and an ILS. It is pretty laid back.

 

You guys are all fascists, just relax and enjoy your training class, spend plenty of time at the Locker Room (Steelers Bar on Tryon Street) and get to know all the folks in your class. If you study in groups you will all pass. Don't try and sell anyone out, it will only reflect poorly upon you.

PM me if you have any questions about the tests, i'd be happy to direct you.

Oh, and be sure to kiss maudlin's and keen's ass. Yeah, thats right i said ass.

 

Oh and Bob Trout is a dirty bastard, i'm not saying to say anything dirty, i'm just saying....he likes tits

 

Is that a bad thing?

I don't think I can PM yet. But was curious was the tests are like? What type of material is on them? Difficult? Any info would be great as I have no idea.

Thanks
