Mason your holier than thou mentality makes you look extremely ignorant. As a student most people do not know if they are really ready and rely on their instructor's opinion/direction. Plain and simple, if you think everyone should have a perfect record you are an idiot and no airline would ever be staffed if you had to carry a crimson A with you for one or two check ride busts.

Nope, don't think that. Not everyone will have a perfect record. Likewise, not everyone should be hired simply because they made it to 500/50 without killing themselves.

Fair enough, and I agree with you 100%.. the beef has been squashed. Haha

So it's just all or nothing. No matter what?

You are drawing these ridiculous lines in the sand that I honestly think the FAA would think are unfair. We get it, you passed all your checks and are the best pilot in the world and should be the only airline pilot in existence.

Your "if you've failed a checkride, you are a liability and the pax will probably all die" statements are bs. You know it, you just don't have the decision making skills to admit you're wrong.

Apply to Colgan. They like guys with busts.

You will not get the call, because you are short on multi time. Build 9 more hrs of multi time and you might get the call. I personally don't think that 2 busts automatically disqualifies you. Most pilots fail once or twice in their training. Good Luck.

Mason your a dumb a**....you will bust a ride one day. Even if you are prepared and completely ready, you can and will still bust...Its not just those people that go into an oral unprepaired that bust the ride. These things are so subjective.

This guy is coming on here to ask for advice and you are shooting him down. You have a terrible attitude, I would rather fly with someone lacking skills then sit next to your royal know it all ***. You do the rest of us a favor and Do not fly.

Ok soo coming back to the topic! I m flying to dallas tomorrow for the interview! its been 24 days since I submitted my application in airlineapps. All my paperwork is ready and today Im reviewing some gauges about the interview but I cant seem to find a good HR question bank with answers! Can someone give me a little advise? or shoot me a couple of questions that were given in the interview that were not in the gauges! what should I NEVER say or answer when they ask me something?

Thanks!

Be yourself, the guys doing your interview are pilots (most are FOs). They are not goig to set you up. They will test your knowledge (technical). Either you know basic regs and charts or you don't. They will test your basic instrument flying skills, can you learn and follow simple procedure and instucrions that you will be given and will see if you can fly in a multi crew environment (CRM). Lastly they will ask questions about you and get your opinion on certain things, they are looking to see how you would handle different situations and to see if you are someone who they would enjoy working with. Fly safe, demonstrate proficiency and be your self!!!

I think you may be talking about "gouges"? "Gauges" are those things on your instrument panel...Also, HR questions don't have set "answers." They are simply looking at how you handle things. Each person should have an answer of their own.

On the contrary sir.... Within the last 2yrs many guys didn't make it through the sim session or the HR/Tech interview due to busts. In fact I have 4 friends that are now at Eagle after busting the sim portion of our interview... :rolleyes:

I think he was talking about checkride busts, not interview busts.

I'm sure its been asked but has anyone been given a class date later than Oct 11th yet? I go to my medical next week and I'm just curious what class I'll make it to.

If you are worried about the date for flowing to aa, well I wouldn't worry about that because it won't happen. Just saying. All these agreements on paper are great, but how they get implemented are a another thing. I'd be worried about if you will A. Pass training here, B. Ever upgrade here. C. Will this company be around in 5years.

And you guys just recently couldn't find the correct airport in LCH, way to go!

Got the offer on the 21st! waiting for the background check and a date for the medical! :D everybody was great! very nice people! 7 out of 9 passed the interview

Cant wait!:)

"you guys" Sorry was not me. I'm not responsible for dumb ass's that didn't use a LOC for runway alignment. :rolleyes:

I dont really care about the flow through to AA. I'm just curious when I might be starting class so I can prepair. I'm actually hoping for later than sooner.

You might want to consider going to glass ASAP, not for the AA flow but because your seniority will be assigned by class date. It will be given to you by age on the first day of class. Seniority plays a huge factor in QOL, one class could mean the difference between sitting at home proffering for trips and occasionally doing airport STBY or sitting at the airport with no flying for a few months. Also could mean holding a line sooner, I know guys that one class behind me and haven't help a line while I have been a line holder for 8 months. But you might have other things that play a role, just wanted to share the information. If it for more time to prepare for class, don't take me wrong then you have no business showing up. All you need to show up is knowing how and aircraft works, basic flying principles and knowing instruments... Everything else will be covered during ground school.

Good info. I'm very excited either way. I'm in the process of selling our house and would like to get that all squared away before I go so I dont have to deal with it while I'm devoting myself to AE.
