Just got the call today for a phone interview...anyknow what the consists of?

 

no tech questions, just asked about your history, dui, etc etc

 

good stuff...thanx for the quick response. Paok, you got on with Comair, right? Did you go to the ASA interview?

 

actually I got asked a few tech Qs, check out aviationinterviews.com there's more info on there

Oops I responded before I saw the word "phone" in there. the phone interview is definitely nothing to worry about basically all yes or no Qs.

 

trying to delete my post, wrong thread

 

How long did it take ASA to call you guys once you submitted your resumes?

 

Didn't interview with ASA yet...... Just got the call today to set up for the interview in ATL..... Joe Butterfield is really nice! When he asked if I had failed a checkride, any speeding tickets, or anything like that, and I said NOPE. Hes like "WHOA girl live a little" haha! I might go down there the first week of may. Get the application packet back to them as SOON as possible. Its a pain, but do it! I overnighted mine, and got a call the next day!!! GOOD LUCK!

 

I got a call this morning from Laura Cook for a phone interview but I couldn't take it because I was with one of my students. I called back all day long, but never got her on the phone....I left a message. My friend said when she missed a call from them, she never heard back again. I hope I didn't mess anything up.

 

I've read this whole thread, here's my advice from ASA line Captain....

Apply as soon as you can, get hired as soon as you can. Seniority is everything. With that said, go get your CFI-I and teach. When I left the military I thought I knew everything about flying. 800 hours of dual given later, I was an infinetly better pilot.

What background best prepares you? Doesn't matter. Just go out there and get a job flying. If someone is paying you to fly, then the experience you gain has value.
As a captain, when you do the meet the crew brief, if the FO has 400 hours and no CFI, or no 135 experience, just got his/her ratings and then flew a little to get to the 500 mark. Well, then I know I'm in for a long day. If the FO says, they have 1200, 1500 hours, they flew checks at night, they CFIed, or Flew some charter stuff, then my comfort level goes up a thousand fold.

I'm not trying to talk down to anyone, but rather let you know how you are going to be perceived on the line.

 

That guy was cool to talk to. He is the guy that did my phone interview. Asked me if I had any felonies etc... I said "Nothing worth bragging about" and he about choked on his coffee laughing. I gotta send that packet in myself still, I am still deciding whether to jump in or get a few hundred more hours. I am leaning towards getting some more experience first.
