Thats all you need. Just study your jepps, IFR, regs, AIM, and brush up on instrument skills for the sim. The interview isn't tough at all. Have some good TMAAT stories ready to go and know the systems for the multi you fly.

Most important - Be yourself, be honest and have fun.

Skills and knowledge are important but Mesaba looks for people that the rest of us want to spend overnights with and long ours on the flightdeck with.

my advise is to find the oldest worst sim that you can find and fly that, because that is what your sim ride will be on

There is hardly anything to study for in the Mesaba interview. No 121 regs. No trick questions. Know the electrical systems, gear operation and systems of all aircraft in your logbook. My interviewer chose and aircraft model I had logged 2.1 (a one-shot BFR in a customer's own plane) total in, but since I logged PIC I sure as heck better know the systems. Luckily, I did. If you happened to sit right seat on a King Air and logged it PIC, you'd better be prepared to explain all its systems.

Think about 4 eventful flights in your past, and you can base all the TMAAT questions on that.

Read the gouges on aviationinterviews and you'll be fine. If you fail the interview, I'd say it's more because of your personality. They hire lots of people who go full scale on the sim. The trick to the sim is to always hold some left yoke (it has a right turning tendency), don't touch rudder, and trim it as soon as you hit your altitudes. Once you trim it, it will stay frozen.

Wow. Thanks guys that really helps to put me at ease. I'm not overly concerned about the personality part. I like to think for the most part I'm a liked person. Most would consider me a decent stick and CFI but some of my book knowledge isn't as strong as I would like it.
