has anyone interviewed recently? can you give me some questions they asked, and what specifically they asked?
I know of the website where you pay $100. However, everything there is vague. For example, they say know a taf. What code caught you off guard specifically? what approach plates they use? etc.
all in all, I would like to know how the interview is. thanks.

BusBoe, spend the $100, get the info, and be prepared. No different than whats expected from you every day you show up to work. I hope you dont need a cheat sheet on how to read a TAF or an approach plate. I can guarantee you nobody is trying to "stump" anyone at these interviews.

I was chatting with a senior CKA yesterday. I made a snide remark about the level of experience of our new hires. He had a completely different attitude and said "These guys are really studying their @sses off, it's really impressive, good to see".
So, I've changed my attitude. Gave my phone number to a brand new guy I met in the terminal, and told him to call me if he thinks I can help out with anything.

And, if you came from a crappy training department like PSA where they fail you for any and everything, you will again, have 0 issues transitioning on the Bus.
People in Europe (and literally anywhere else outside of the USA) fly this thing with only 250 hours under their belt in a cessna. It's a very pilot-friendly plane.
