Interview
All,
Virtual interview is coming up and wanted to see if there is any extra intel I can get beforehand. I feel privileged to even get the interview considering there are several thousand applications and 200ish spots...
I've used aviation interviews for prep but it seems almost exclusively HR questions. I assume if they give you an interview they know you can fly (3 type ratings and 8600TT) so what kind of technical may they ask? Obviously that's almost an impossible question to answer...
Any information is greatly appreciated!
Go Yellow!

I got asked regs, memory items and limitations about my current plane (and there's no way they could have known if I was truthful). Lots of HR type questions and the one and only one that matters... "why Spirit?" Oh and through the entire onboarding process, DON'T LIE!!! Welcome aboard and I hope you like Detroit!

I will give a good review once I complete the interview. After speaking with S it looks like late May to mid June will be the next round of classes. I am already preparing the wife for moving to Detroit or Florida

They are also typically making sure you can pass training (shorter footprint than most Airbus operators) and if you’d be a good person to fly with for 4 days. But, like others have said it’s pretty laidback and the job is yours to lose at this point. Best of luck!

...Good luck with the interview! Like someone else eluded, if they are interviewing you, they want you, it’s just up to you not to give them a reason to change their mind.
