I got a CJO Today, told to expect to start in early January. The Tech Skills assessment has replaced the sim ride and is pretty straightforward. About 30-40 minutes long, you chair fly a leg, briefing the departure and approach, with a straightforward malfunction en route and a divert at the end. It's one on one with a UAL captain. At the end you watch a cockpit CRM video and critique it.

All in all I was there for 2.5 hours.

The guys around my time slot were mostly 121 guys (4/6), only two military transitions.

Upcoming interview.

Besides the "chair fly" flight and CRM discussion, what else is there? Is there a one-on-one TMAAT session, or tell me about yourself, or why United? Separate HR interview?

Thank you for any and all info.

Yes. There is a separate HR interview. I highly recommend interview prep. Cage Marshall, Emerald Coast Interview Consulting, and Centerline all do a great job.

Everything ARCLIGHT said. Also take copies of your resume. The email doesn't say you are suppose to but my two interviewers asked for mine and I had copies. They then asked me to tell them about myself using my resume. The other mil guy interviewing with me didn't bring copies and I don't think he got hired. The feeling I got was his interview went poorly.
Best of luck, and remember they are very happy to have you there so just try and be yourself and relax. Easier said than done I know.

Just wondering, is the pilot that does the chair flying part, the same person in the HR part?

Hi Guys,

I have an interview coming up on the 29th of this month and I was reading through the guidance documents and it mentions "If you only have electronic documentation for some of your flight time, please be sure to bring original logbooks for any time converted to electronic".

Does this mean they don't want print outs from a digital logbook program? Or simply that any time that was added to the digital program from a paper logbook needs to be backed up by the original paper log book?

Any other enlightening tips on the process are more than welcome!

No, it will be a different pilot. The day I was there, there were three interviewees per time slot and two interview teams of a pilot and HR Rep each, and two pilots to conduct the chair fly session.

They are happy to take a summary of flight time from your personal eLogbook but they need to eyeball the original logbooks. I gave them my mil and civ logbooks and they had them back to me in five minutes. I also gave them a summary of flight time by aircraft type for them to keep, although that is strictly optional. If you have questions or wired circumstances, drop Bill an email, he is quite responsive (Or Kristin, she is wonderfully helpful).
