- Received an e mail 2 days prior to the review of my application. ( make sure you update it then and that all your time match between your logbook and airlineapps )
- Received after the review, an e mail by a recruiter asking to call in order to schedule my interview. I was given the choice in the date.
- Reeived an e mail with all the packets to be filled out prior to your interview. You will also need various documents including ALL of your transcripts, ALL driving records for states you have lived in for more than 6 months, listed on your application, ALL checkrides tabbed in you logbook with ALL the endorsements.
- One week prior, I received an e-mail with my travel information as a Non-Rev ticket and also a recommended hotel to book your room at. ( the candlewood at $75 - It's a good place )
- The day you are traveling to DFW, send an e mail to confirm you will be attending the interview, just as a courtesy. The hotel shuttle will pick you up from the Airport. You will find a variety of fast food places within walking distance from the hotel.
- The morning of the interview, make sure you have everything ready and show up downstairs around 7.15. the shuttle will leave around 7.30
- You will then watch a video about Eagle. A little outdated as the president interviewed is not the current one and they show a lot of saabs 340.
- you will meet with 2 recruiters, as a group, and they will discuss life at eagle while your logbook are being reviewed.
- Then start the three steps of the interview :
You can start by any of the Tech, H.R or Sim check ; all very straight forward :
1) Tech
It can be any questions about metars and taf, takeoff and landing minimums, departure and arrival procedures, approach plates, IFR enroute charts and numbers pertaining to your current airplane. All of it set up in some form of a senario. I didnt have any questions about oxygen or duty time. I think if you answer everything right without any hesitation, the recruiter will not waste his time asking 1000 questions. Nothing tricky.
2) H.R
Most of the time will be to verify all of your paperwork. But you might be asked casual questions in the meantime so think about what your saying. You will be asked a few official questions after. It could include what is your strengh, your weakness, when would you take the controls from your captain... you get the idea
3) Sim
Just as straight forward and the instructor is very friendly and helpfull. Departure straigh out, climb to 3000, vector to intercept a radial, given a hold ( btw, you can draw it if you need ), flew the entry got vectored for an ils with a flight director, went missed then did it again without the F/D
Once you are done, they will let you know very quickly and send you on your way home.
Best of luck ! |
