Default Mesaba Interview Help

Hey everyone, thanks for taking the time to read my thread. I have an interview scheduled on 10-11-07 and would like some insight and a source of current gouges to help prepare me. This is my first time interviewing with the airlines, and I am not expecting a job out of the interview. Since I am still in college, I am just going to the interview to gain experience.

I am a bit rusty on my instruments, which is why I am reading chapter 5 of the AIM, watching the Sporty's DVD set, and reviewing other textbooks I have. If anyone can give me more information on what they are going to ask on the technical, I would appreciate it. It would be really cool if there is someone near the Wichita, KS, area that is willing to conduct a mock airline interview before Wednesday of next week, that would be cool.

Once again, thanks for taking the time to read my thread, and I hope to hear from some of you soon.

Drop me a PM with you #. It would be a lot easier to talk to you about the interview. I just interviewed on the 27th and I got the job. I would be more than happy to help you get ready.
