Pilot Interview Profile:

Arrive at Pan AM Flight Academy by 8:30. Someone will greet you and get your log books and have you fill out a piece of paper with basic info (name, address, phone). When I interviewed there were three of us. We were given a schedule of events for the day, which consisted of different times for each candidate. First off, there is a short presentation by HR on the company, benefits, etc. Then you start the interview process which consisted of: Sim eval in a 727 sim (visuals and motion off). Basic maneuvers, climbing/descending turns at constant aispeed (always 1000 fpm up and down)and steep turns, enter a hold. Written test, 75 ATP questions directly out of the test bank. There were no calculation problems or questions that refered to a chart of graph. Panel interview which consisted of the HR rep, and two previous NWA pilots. Questions consisted of tell me about an emergency you had. What are some of your strengths that are not on your resume, how would you handle a situation where the FO was not adhering to SOP and when you said something he ignored you. What is the best flying job in your opinion. Where else have you applied. How do you see the rest of your career laid out?It was very conversational and laid back. There is a paperwork session where you fill out all of the PRIA forms, DOT drug test paperwork, drivers registry forms, etc. You are fingerprinted and a picture taken for your name badge is done at this time. The last thing is they buy you a cab to a medical clinic and you take a drug test. The pay for a cab from the clinic also. I left Pan Am at 1:00, I had to wait on the drug test for about an hour.
Compass will positive space you to/from MSP. You are responsible for hotel and transportation to Pan AM.
