Pilot Interview Profile:
Drove in for the interview, arrived at the appointed time and place. I found the location to clean and very professional in appearance. I was greated by a current captain. He was positive and upbeat. Small talk at first then went through the normal HR question and some general IFR what if questions this process took about and hour. Then a 50 question IFR test it looked much like a gleim questions. I am not a big fan of gleim their question are so poorly weitten.

Overall a good experience, the previous gouges are spot on just follow them and you will do well. I have not heard from them as to the results of the interview and the on line tests. I was told it would be 2 weeks if I have not heard anything contact them to inquire. All by email

Stayed in the comfort inn, hot breakfast and a shuttle, very convenience location.

Pilot Interview Profile:
50 question gleim. Pretty simple stuff. Microbursts, and regs predominantly. 2 pages of the typical interview questions already talked about. 2 pages of the situational questions also already talked about before. The only thing I found to be different than others experience is the attitude of the interviewer. He was just a first officer for new mexico airlines. He was very nice, and enthusiastic to be interviewing me. He talked about himself and his experience and was very receptive to questions. All in all a good experience and a fun interview. Hope it works out!

Pilot Interview Profile:
Some what depressing circumstance. They have a email only policy regarding first contact. In my opinion they are a moderately high risk airline, as they wont provide any 'instrument training', and expect you to go there current on instruments. The quality of the personnel, especially those recruiting is low. A response one of the hiring managers gave me was "Yea good luck with that. You obviously can’t read very well.", in response to my question about their $8000 training contract. It's at that point I decided their bad attitude wasn't worth my time, money, or effort.

Apparently the contract is written specifically to keep them from being liable for your leaving early.

$1300.00/mth to start; after 90 days, $1500.00/mth; after 1 year $1700.00/mth and raises every year thereafter.

What is the work schedule?
5 days on, 2 days off. Workdays are 6-14 hours long (can change) depending on the daily schedule. You will fly
from 6-12+ legs per day. We a 24 hour, 365 day a year operation and scheduling can be at anytime during
day/night. We do currently have day and night shifts.

How many hours of flight time will I get?
50-100 hours of flight per month.

What is the pro-rated training contract?
This is an $8,000.00 training contract with the airline. The contract is 12 months in length. Should you leave
employment (voluntary or involuntary) prior to the end of the 12-month period, you will be required to pay the
balance of the contract. The balance due on the contact will decrease by 1/12th every 30 days of employment
following the date you pass your check ride with Pacific Wings LLC.
