A buddy of mine that's an E-175 FO interviewed Feb 6th and was hired. He said the first question the CP asked was, you got any questions for us?. Then after that it was more of a get to know you type stuff. They stress about being gone for 17 days. He got no technical questions at all. Not to say they won't ask.

He flew the Classic sim for the eval ride. Takeoff from JFK with climbs and turns to headings, level off. They have you leave the flaps at the takeoff setting to make things a little easier. direct to DPK VOR to hold then vectors for ILS. All hand flown, no FD or AP. Landing is not graded.

Very relaxed interview. Just be yourself.

Good luck!!

Quote: i was in transition training last year to the -400 .... including down time before and after that and before OE.. and I only flew one short trip in Dec due to a death in the family. So.. I was available to fly essentially 9 months and logged 500 hours... so thats.... about 55 hours per month. i would guess that probably average ..i know guys with more... and less. Fwiw... i don't work days off.

First 12 months pay... hard to say... but because of training pay issue.. I would think 50-55k.. could be vary a lot. As for hotel... its my understanding with the new AQP initial... you are probably on the hook for two weeks of housing on your own... in the past it was about 4 weeks so .. not quite as bad. And finally yes.. essentially you are responsible for getting to AQP each year... BUT as someone above mentioned... that does not always hold true because your AQP would have to start on your first day... or they would have to leave you on R4 home reserve ( VERY VERY rare )... if they bring you out.. and say 5 days later your AQP is scheduled.. they must get you to and from... the basis for this is that YIP is in theory your base... and training is in base.. so they assert they don't have to fly you to your domicile..... thats the way its stated in the contract. whew... good luck... spoke with a guy who interviewed recently and was surprised to find out that of the 4 guys who interviewed that day... none had heavy international time... and 3 of the 4 had less than 5000k hours.
Hopefully after reading this, that I have a chance.

My apologies, was just writing what I know from my relative who is on the -400. I'm not trying to stir something up that shouldn't be.

No worries, my comment wasn't necessary, my apologies as well, good luck! if you are interested in getting on here, ask as many questions as you need, i'll answer them as accurate as possible. It isn't all roses here, but employment for many and still a good place for the most part for others.

again good luck!
