I think you'll be pleasantly surprised/underwhelmed. I interviewed about 10 months ago (got cold feet about PSA, so did not accept the class date). The written was straight off the airlineinterview site gouge. I also studied the Sheppard Air prep and read The Turbine Pilot's Flight Manual - both good products IMO, but I honestly believe the gouge from the web site would have been sufficient. As far as tech oral - read a METAR, brief a Jepp, know your 123 rule. About as straight forward as you can get. Good luck!

We'll see what happens. I don't feel prepared for the technical portions of the written or panel interview but not for lack of effort. I've spent dozens of hours studying this and that. It's a large "body of knowledge" that I'm needing to reacquaint myself with. Making progress, just not where I want to be. I am planning on shining up my good boots though, maybe that will dazzle them.

FWIW when I interviewed there a few years ago, it was relatively easy. Remember they need to hire you and use your personality to get the job if your tech is weak.

Good luck!

There are lots of flights, but tons of commuters, and it often takes two or three flights to get out. It's also a popular backup two-leg commute for ATL ppl who work at other domiciles. Depending in the situation, I will drive it when I have to go to ATL, but I'm now Dtw based and am much happier with the Clt/Dtw commute.
