Once again, thanks for all of your help on this forum. It sounds like I've been on the right track so far. I'll just keep on keepin' on.

Intro: MESABA Q & A, our future
Two tests: 25 question IFR , 50 question timed IQ
SIM ride: Basic VOR ILS LOM holds
Interview: HR & Flight ops
Clinic: Drink lots of water


Good Luck!!

No, but I happily faxed in my resignation yesterday.

What do you recommend someone studies for the IFR test. I have been flying corporate for quite a while so I have no idea what these questions will be like. Thanks...

Holding pattern entries. FAF on an ILS. Speed restrictions. If you've been flying IFR you should know these but I recommend reading the AIM and/or practice FAA exams.

Good info. I'm really looking forward to my interview next week. Is the HR/Tech interview together? From what I've gathered, I understand it to be more HR with a few tech q's about basic aircraft systems. I'm studying the AIM and reviewing a/c systems. Is there any certain aircraft the interview focuses on? [most flown, most complex, twin recently flown, or all of the above] Mesaba sounds like a great place to work.

Where ya headed?

AIM and Pilot/Controller Glossary. Things like: What does the phrase "CLEARED AS FILED" not include? What is D-ATIS? Examples of ATC instructions vs. clearances, MSA, MVA, etc. etc.

RJ85FO, thanks for all of the info. If you dont mind, I have some offline questions I'd like to pester you with. I'll send them over via PM.

Mesaba Interview
 

1. Interview is written test concentrating on FAR's, AIM, Jepp Charts
2. Drug Test
3. Sim eval (basic attitude, climbs, etc. with a approach and hold)
4. Interview talking about your experiences and systems of current aircraft.(with HR and a chief pilot)

Hope that helps
