Hey everyone. I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on how to prepare for an airline interview. I have looked at some of the other forums on this site, along with other websites, but wanted to see if anyone would respond.
I recently turned 21 and have 250 TT and 15 multi with all my ratings except my MEI (which I am currently working on), CFII, and ATP. I am an intern for American Airlines in Dallas, Texas, and would like to get on with Eagle in about 8 months (would love to hear from and meet Eagle new hires, along with other new hires from other airlines). Any airline that is looking to hire is who I will try and apply for. I am the first pilot in my family, and am unsure about the interview process and what airlines are looking for in potential employees.
My biggest questions so far are:
- How does one prepare for an interview?
- What websites provide helpful information?
- Which airlines are worth applying for?
- What are pilots expected to know for the interview (technical questions)?
- What study aids should a person use to learn the items they do not know?
- How far in advance should one start prepairing for an interview?
- What kind of experience are airlines looking for in new hire pilots?
- Do young pilots feel like they do not know enough to do well in the interview?
- Would someone be willing to work with me by giving me mock interviews to prepare me for the big day?
All replies, IMs, and e-mails will be appreciated. Looking forward to reading what you have to say, and will have more questions as the weeks go on, don't worry
. I will hopefully write a better thread next time since this is my first time writing one. Hope you all have a wonderful day!
