Very friendly people. Went over the logbook and asked me to introduce myself. couple of qestions regarding background. Make sure you know Jepp. Couple of scenario questions. example, what would you do if you smell an alcohol from your captain.

Flight- NDB aproach with 10 DME arc. shot 10DME arc NDB approach and went missed and NDB hold.

Good luck.

Interview was at 10:00, got lost for a little bit but was able to make it to the AIMS Education Center in Greeley around 9:45. Met a lady who took all my documents and looked through them...make sure you thorougly read the instructions on how to fill out all the forms. After all that, she gave me the NDB 27 app into Cheyenne to review, that was what i got also at sim....just look through it, don't memorize anything. Make sure you check for any DPs. The interview itself was quite pleasant. Interview with one of their directors and a really cool line Captain. Same questions as listed before in the other gouges...tell us about you, where do you see yourself in 5 years, most pleasant flying memory, and a few tech questions about the Jepps low enroute chart and finger flying an ILS app,nothing tricky or really difficult. After that, it was time for the sim, was given directions to the SIM building which was not too long a driving distance. Flew the same NDB i had been given when i got to the interview building. It was actually an arc unto the NDB course. Messed it up a little bit because i'm not used to flying with rmi(been using fixed card), got vectors to reintercept the arc and shot the approach, got down to mins, no rwy, went missed and got ready to hold, and sim was freezed. Was asked what kind of entry i would have used and that was it. All i can say is be yourself, make sure you are with prepared all your paperwork and just have fun. Like everyone else says, a really friendly group of folks.

I had a friend who is an FO on the 1900. He walked in my resume for me. It seems that GLA puts a great emphasis on applications that are personally recommended. I got the call and was offered and interview. MAKE SURE YOU ARE MULTI PROFICIENT AND CURRENT!! I set up a review date with Lisa Nieffert @Advance Aviation Simulators. I will include the contact info at the end of this document. Lisa had me do a couple of approaches and study some gouge that she has accumulated over the years. Very good info on technical and HR questions. Make sure you are familiar with JEPP low alt. charts and appch plates. Also study general instrument stuff, alt mins, VOR service volumes, what 10 things do you need to descend below MDA, familiar with TAF/METAR format, etc. I set my interview time for 2:00pm as to be late enough so I wouldn't be rushed, but not the last applicant. I arrived in Greeley and went to AIMS community college. Walked in the door and was met by Heidi, an HR rep. She was very nice and explained what was needed from me. Make sure you have ALL documentation with you. Make multiple copies of all your stuff. PREPARE everything way ahead of time. You will be stressed enough as is; you shouldn't have to worry about your documentation. I handed in my docs, and waited to be called. Heather from HR asked me to go upstairs to the interview room. Tori Meisel, Dir. Of Ops was already in the room waiting for my arrival. I tell you guys what, make sure you put an extra layer of deodorant on, you'll need it. I was asked what is the difference between currency and proficiency? Has your integrity ever been questioned? Why lakes? How did you hear about us? Where do you see yourself in 5yrs? Why you want to be a pilot? Explain your last pilot position. Lisa will also have a lot of good ones for you. The technical portion consisted of a JEPP plate of a non-precision approach into somewhere, really doesn't matter. Was asked how I would fly the approach in a non tower situation. Remember to get the ASOS and call intentions, etc., etc. I was asked general questions about markings on the plate. Just be familiar with the legends on both low alt. charts and plates. After the interview I was told to go to the simulators, they were in another building just around the corner. Walking distance. When I arrived, I was given the approach for CYS ILS 27. I reviewed the plate, and went to the sim when it was my turn. There were really no surprises in the sim. 15kts of wind outta the who knows what direction and a hold over the VOR. MAKE SURE YOU GET AND EFC TIME, if you don't, expect engine failure lost comm. and lots of unnecessary stress! Lakes is very big on basic instrument flying and knowledge. After all, 80% of their fleet does not have autopilots! I entered the hold, did a couple of turns, then was told to exit and join the arc for the final approach course. The course comes up fast depending upon which direction you are arcing, so have a good scan. If you don't have a good scan, fly a few approaches on MSflightsim. It will help. Be aware of your wind correction and fly the LOC and SLOPE. I broke out at mins, and the sim was stopped. Had a little small talk with the evaluator, and that was it. It is true what people say about Great Lakes and the people that work here. Everyone enjoys the job, and their enthusiasm shows. This is a great place to start a career in the aviation industry. Remember to look sharp, be polite and prompt, and stay relaxed. I know it is easy to say, but if you prepare, and have a day to breath before you leave. Have fun and good luck!
