I just got the call!!:D
Starting training May 24st !!

For all the others interviewing this week or next...
Read the few last few gouges....questions are exactly the same...
I stilll studied all of the ATP for peace of mind.....but the test is pretty much the 25 questions you'll find in the gouges!
Good luck!

Congrats Shanejj! I guess your speaking of the gouges on Aviation interviews.com? How about the panel interview? Same as the gouge? When did you interview? I interview May 1st... wish me luck!

Thanks bro!
Yes, aviationinterviews.com
Read about the last 10 gouges. They pretty much cover it up.
The panel interview is really HR driven. Rachel H really makes you feel comfortable....unless you get nervous around pretty women:D .
Maybe one or two questions on your current twin/single. (Look over the most simple questions on your airplane such as the fuel capacity:p )
And the sim...the profile is also in the gouge...they even give you the profile the day before the sim eval.
I interviewed on the 20th and 21st of April.

Good luck!
You'll be fine;)

see you in class...

C ya there bud ^^

Thanks for the info! It helps me out alot.

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!! My interview date is May 1st. I will study those gouges!!

Good luck! Keep your resume up to date to send to another airline JUST IN CASE . . .

Or when you get tired of scheduling calling between 1 and 3 in the morning to junior man you.

Hello all. I just got the email for an invite to interview at PSA. I've been reading this thread and I will use all the advice. As far as the sim check, does anyone have any insight? I have set up some time in an FTD at my former college to practice. Any idea which approaches or procedures I should practice?

Texaspilot, how much flight time do you have, if I may ask?

No problem. I have 460/65, 230 dual given, bachelor degree, veteran.

I am really looking forward to the interview. Not expecting anything, but am really excited nevertheless.

Texas,
The CRJ sim is a lot of fun, but can be overwhelming when you first strap in. The profile they used a couple years ago was pretty basic instrument stuff. TO, climb, level off, steep turns, turning decent, level off, ILS appr. to VMC, No landing. I think it was CLT 36L, but it doesn't really matter - your nfp will set everything up for you you just keep the shiny side up & you'll be ok on the eval. I'd suggest you make sure your scan is solid, and then try flying glass on MS Flight Sim. Glass is the probably the biggest difference you'll see from what you're probably accustomed to doing.

Have fun at the interview, it is a great experience, but I can't stress enough, if you don't have to live in CLT, TYS or DAY, you don't want to work at PSA. Things are bad there and appear to be getting worse. You're not that far away from Eagle or Xjet times. They are certainly worth the wait for a Texan vs PSA. Even Colgan would be better if you can get IAH.

Thanks for the insight Rob. I am still debating whether to stay instructing to get to Eagle or take the job if it is offered.

With great honor and pleasure PILOT754 is officially been offered employment and a training date of MAY 21, 2007 with PSA AIRLINE (USAIRWAYS EXPRESS) !!!!!



FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT!

Enjoy training. Don't, I Repeat, Don't eat at Wilbur's.

CONGRATS TO YOU MAN!!!!!!!


When did you get the call from Rachel? Also, is everyone in our group of 18 getting on? Hope to get a call myself soon..............

What's wrong with Wilburs'? I had there buffet there, it was good.

You guys interviewed with 18??
Full load:rolleyes:

Yep!! Everyone made it to the sim after passing the test and panel interview. The sim ride was nice, that was my first time in a level D so I was blown away by all that automation, I flew pretty well to, I think, kept the GS and LOC at about a 2 dot deflection, that was my 1st time mind you, so if I get the call, I'm know I am going to live in that level D.

everyone passed?
wow good for ya'll...
long live aviationinverviews! haha:p

Thats' right!! :D

Here's the scoop on the latest round of interviews. The email I recieved said that the written quiz that will be given is new and therefore will not be available on any gouge sites. Study up! I assume that it will be material taken from the ATP test prep. I will post as soon as I see it first hand next week.

The sim portion of the interview is fun. But trust me when you get to the actual sim training by lesson 2 you will hate it. And by lesson 5-6 you will completely loath the walk from the briefing room to sim. Good times, enjoy!

Hey our group of 18 got the same thing. STUDY THOSE GOUGES ON AVIATION INTERVIEWS .COM and you will be fine. But just in case..... know your stuff.

All 18? Wow! That's great! Hopefully the May 9th interviews will go the same way. Anyone else scheduled for May 9th? My email also said that it would be a new test and there would be no gouge, so I've been studying everything--but still retaining the gouge. Good luck to all!

A two dot deflection and you think thats good! First time or not that's a go around at the airlines! Good Luck!

You ate the buffet? And lived to tell the tale?

You are one lucky fellow.

Don't press your luck. If you eat at wilburs there are cramps and stomch pain in your future.

Of Course, but the standard was full scale. They wanted to see if you are trainable and since that was my first time ever in a level D I thought it was passable. (Was also told that by a H.R. rep, who kept asking me if I ever flown a jet before, said I was pretty smooth on the controls and the check airmen said on my evaluation that I was DEFINELTY TRAINABLE.) What they are looking for is to see if you are TRAINABLE, NOT PERFECTION. My own standards are dead on, fly the iron cross etc....so while that would have been a go around for sure, I was merely demonstrating my techniques up to that point.

Why don't you apply at PSA and tell us how you did?? :)

Uh Oh.......................:eek: !!!!!!!!! I hate projectile......well, you know.

Autopilot, I still haven't heard anything, have you?

Just got the call... It took them 8 days to call me back. I was cooking an egg sandwich when they called. Quite shocking!!! I thought the interview and sim went O.K., but it went pretty well for everybody. Anyways, I start on the 21st.

CONGRATS!!! GO KNOCK EM DEAD!!!

Don't need to apply, already work there!:D

thanks bro!!

Hey everybody. Just got home from the interviews yesterday. The written test and oral interview went great. The sim was so-so. I had a difficult time at first getting used to the airplane, blew through my altitude, had trouble feeling out the trim, but after a bit I got a handle on it better. When given the hold, I gave the correct entry, and my ILS was fairly good, it was not perfect, liitle high on glide slope, but good on localizer.

Do any PSA people here think I did OK enough to pass and get the offer? I know it's hard to tell without being there, but just looking for opinions. Thanks everyone.

It's easy to blow through your altitude when the altimiter reads in increments of 100 ft. I as well, was high on my glide slope. Sounds like you did O.K. on the sim, but there's more to it than just the sim. What exactly? I don't know. I thought there was some squared away guys at my interview that didn't get the job. I understand what you're going through right now, I just went through it for 8 long days. Some other people got the call within a couple days. Try not to over analyze things, it will eat you alive. Relax, grab a cold one...Whatever happens, happens. Best of luck to you.

All depends on who your sim examiner was. But in general they know you will not do a terrific job, it would be foolish of anyone to expect that. They want to just see that you correct your mistakes ...........did you blow through your altitude by more than a 1000ft? if so that may be a different story. Otherwise if you were climbing and started to level off at 10k and you hit 10.4k but made an adjustment to get back down immediatly, then you may be ok. You have to understand that the guy who was testing you may end up being one of your sim instructors and wants to see that you are trainable and that if he gets you as a student that he won't have to keep going over things many times.
Also the HR part is a big thing also, that only you know how you did.
If you feel relatively good about the experience, then you probably got it. If you are down about it, then you may not have. But that works on all interviews. Good Luck!

Come to the interview with the right attitude and don't blame the sim for poor performance. If you make a mistake blow it off and try your hardest to correct it. Also don't get hung up on whats already done, stay in the game.

I talked with the chief pilot the other day and they are going to change the sim ride into a 737, more realistic, the CRJ sim is very fast and sensitive.

Remember you attitude says alot, if your low time act low time with the willingness to learn. Myself and the sim instuctors were there once and we want you to succeed. Good Luck!

Hey two dot, did you get the job?

Hey everyone. I got the job! Got the call this morning. This has been an incerdible week. Graduated college on Monday, got the job today. I'll be in class on the 21st. I guess the next challenge is packing up a 3 bedroom house with 6 years worth of junk in a weeks time! Any volunteers? :) j/k

Thanks for all the help and advice on here everyone. I look forward to meeting some of you.
