In essence, be yourself. ECIC should show you how to present yourself and apply your career story into what you're being asked. If the interview team gets the whiff of you coming across as non-genuine and canned or even worse lying, that's probably the fastest way to get a TBNT. They really want to get to know you. If you deny them that, well... that's on you. The job is really yours to lose. We don't have quotas of say how many they have to interview. They'll make it very clear that they can hire every last one that day, or they can hire no one, but the job is indeed yours to lose.

Good luck!
the running joke regarding EC was that too many candidates came through the interview and told their story about the amazing customer service interaction they had on their way to Dallas with “Diane the customer service agent” or whatever she did…the same name was used frequently enough that became the tell. EC emphasized interactions and remembering names…and it morphed into a joke when the same employee worked all over the country. Not sure if that’s still a thing but it was years ago.

I’ve used this method a couple times:
Go to your company of choice and Highlight/Copy the last couple years of write ups of people’s interviews.
Then paste that on a word doc.
Then cull out extraneous content like Flight Times, Current Position etc.
Further cull out repetitive questions posted by several people.
As you review the multiple write ups you’ll see common occurrences / questions and know, for the most part, what to expect.
When I did this I had a really good prep for the overall flow of the day, TMAAT questions I could prep for, and all the other things interviewers would ask.
When I went through an interview here the big thing was that one of the 3 parts (logbook, HR, LOI) of the process would be semi confrontational. When it happened, I knew it and wasn’t thrown. I just acted like I would on the flight deck.
I also used Professional Interview Prep. I needed it. It worked and I’m happy and better for it.
this is great advice. I really appreciate it. Thanks.

Make sure your email provider isnt blocking wnco email. I didnt hear anything before my interview but when i logged into the application site i saw a new button labelled schedule your interview had appeared. It turned out my email provider was filtering wnco out completely, not even sending it to spam.

After I selected an interview date i changed my email to a new gmail account and they could contact me after that.

Default Email Today

Got an email today asking for supplemental info. Pilot Questionnaire & Letters of recommendation, etc. I am assuming that is an interview invite after I complete the steps? Anyone been through that. Also, heard this year was full for training slots and interviews. Curious as to the window to select dates for those who got interviews recently.

Id log in to your application page and see if there’s a selection for interview date. In any case, further correspondence other than a no is a good thing.
