Oh, don't worry. When it's on the company dime I'm on board with pretty much the same stuff everyone else wants :) In this case, I had to stay within a budget to make sure I could pay rent. First year pay pretty much zeroed out my savings so if it's out of my pocket, it's gonna be the budget choice for another year or two. If I show up on time, rested, and in a freshly ironed/cleaned suit, the interviewer doesn't need to know where I stayed.

How’d the interview go?

Thanks for the heads up! Sounds great!

Anyone else interviewing Tuesday???

LOI
 

Can someone please post some different LOI scenarios? This would be very helpful to me and I’m sure some other folks as well.

The scenario you get doesn't matter. There is no right or wrong answer to chose. It's how you gather/process information and make your decision that matters.

Concur. It’s all about methodology, communication, prioritization and humility, both in considering the crew’s input and especially during the debrief.

That being said, I interviewed twice before getting hired, my scenarios were FA reporting hot air pouring out of the overhead in the aft galley, and the second one was fumes in the cabin. Both times I failed to keep an eye on the clock and ended up spitting out a 2 second brief. I dinged myself for it during the debrief both times.

The biggest mistake I made the first time around was making a decision, briefing it, then changing my mind because I was going to land way over weight (which would not have mattered, at all). I debriefed how I felt like I made a mistake in doing that, and that I should have stuck with the first decision. I doubt that the LOI was the reason I didn’t get hired. It is the quickest 7 minutes of your life!

Best of luck, hope this helps.

Thanks for the input. I'm just looking for any insight into the process.

It's a 7 minute drill to assess your ability to work with a crew to assess a problem, come up with a solution, and finally to debrief and self-critique.

Interview gouge
 

This! They don’t really care what you decision is, just how you get there, how you stick with it and how you use your resources. My guy said “I don’t agree with your decision and want to go on record saying so”. They are evaluating what you will do. I said, I appreciate your input and concern, but this is why I am choosing what I am choosing (slowly looking at the clock with 50 seconds left) and could you please brief the cabin and do the descent checklist. He said, ok, the LOI is finished. I said to myself, well, I blew it! He looked over at me and said “I didn’t say I was going to agree with you..and winked”.

The debrief is just as important. Make three columns. 1. Things I thought “we” did well. 2. Things I thought we could have done better. 3. And things we would have done if We had more time.

I got hired.
