AirNet phone interview

[jrh]

I thought I'd share my experience with AirNet's phone interview...

I put in my application on Friday afternoon. I got called on Monday afternoon by a recruiter. My times were all slightly better than 135 minimums, with 42 hours multi.

The first question of the interview was if I had any questions for him. I did, so we talked about those for a few minutes.

Then it was real basic, introductory questions...Was I legal to work in the US? Was I willing to relocate? Was I willing to work for their pay rates? Was I ok with signing their training contract if I get hired? Any accidents/incidents/violations on record or pending investigations? Any other trouble from the past five years they should know about?

Then it moved in to slightly deeper questions...

What type of flying had I done to accrue my multi time?
Had I given any multi instruction?
What type of flying am I currently doing?
What made me want to work for AirNet?
Any failed checkrides? If so, what happened?
How much recent experience flying instruments, twins, or sims?

That was about it. I was surprised at how simple and straightforward it all was. It went fast. I expected a lot more technical questions.

Then the interviewer invited me to Columbus for an in-person interview and gave me a summary of how the process works, when the interviews are scheduled, what class dates I could plan on if I get hired, etc. He gave me some advice on how to prep for it and told me to take it seriously. He cautioned that a lot of good pilots don't get hired simply because they don't prep enough and aren't ready for the sim. Then he asked me if I had any other questions. I did, so he answered those, and that was it.

In general, it was a very pleasant conversation. It didn't feel like he was grilling me at all, he just wanted to learn more about my background and make sure I'd be a decent fit at AirNet.

Congrats on the interview! AirNet has an AMAZING facility out in Ohio. Bill gives a great tour of the company and is a funny guy. Craigs awesome too. Sharp as a tack. Have fun and be yourself.
