Mine was 03-16-06.
First day was meeting at 0800 at the headquarters. You'll meet three RETIRED captains (not line pilots). You'll be shown company computer based video. 30 multiple choice test (mine covered from private through ATP and some 121 questions). Light gun signals, IFR, hydroplanning, descents from a certain altitude to another by a certain DME. Remember your altitude to loose X 3 plus your DME restriction is how far you need to start your descent. How far off course are you with CDI deflected so much at a certain distance, Icing, what do the 121 rules cover, oxygen requirement, etc. You may not be done with your test, you'll be called to do your fingerprints and your interview with one of the retired captains. Study every symbol on jepp enroutes (I was asked on low enroutes) and briefing an approach. My interviewer picked a victor airway from a VOR to another and asked me to explain every symbol and asked if you lost comm at this point, what do you do, when can you descend to your airport and there is no VFR area anywhere around. Why ASA, What do you have to offer ASA, Your best qualities and not so good traits. Have you ever flown with a difficult captain, What do you do on overnights, your hobbies.
I was the highest timer there 5K+ hrs and over 40in age and was the only one not picked for the sim day. The interns(looked like they were 12 yrs. old were - I didn't see them being interviewed either, it doesn't mean they weren't at one point, though). There was another pilot over 40 with about same experience as mine who interviewed the week before me and didn't get hired either. The second day is supposed to be the sim and drug test at Flight Safety. You may find some more gouge on aviationinterviews.com. Good luck.
