***Update*** I got the -900, starting 10/8. Anyone else in that class? What about all of those PM's I got about interviews. Anyone else get hired?

Sent my stuff in this past Monday so I am waiting hopefully for an interview. And congrats again.

Speaking of which, do you guys have any of the -200's up? I was on a trip in Rapid City, SD and saw a -200 with an XJ tailnumber.

They didn't fair very well, although I do not know if they got offered jobs or not. My times are 1230 TT, 50 multi.

Congrats Brandon!!!!!

Hey guys! It is finally here. I am leaving tomorrow for my interview on the 27th. Quite a bit more nervous than I thought I would be. I have read the gouges, studied the ATP book and I am familiar with the Jepp charts. Hopefully all will turn out well.

Does anyone else have this interview date?

dunlaf05 · September 25th, 2007, 08:07

Minneappolis is gonna be coooooollllllddddd!

We've had a single -200 for quite a while, Northwest is delaying the 17 from Pinnacle for now so we can focus on the 900 program's growing pains.

IFly85 · September 25th, 2007, 15:23

No, just read the gouge. I would fly a sim with the oldest instruments in it that you can find. No HSI, use a separate VOR. Get use to only one frequency at a time, no standby. Practice steep turns and hold entries, you will do both. Other then that it was a really easy interview. You can find practice Wonderlick test on the net. It is the same one that NFL players take. Study IFR procedures, they use Jepp’s, so know them if you don't use them.

IFly85 · September 26th, 2007, 12:08

Doesn't sound too bad, I appreciate all the help. When do you start training?

B: How long did it take for you to hear after your interview? I interviewed last Thurs. 27th and received a conditional offer, but I am trying to plan on how I will hand off my current students. Most people tell me it takes 5-7 days to hear, is this correct based on your experience?

You received a conditional offer the day of the interview? If so, thats something new.

It took them 5 days to get back to me, some people it took alot longer...all depends on the background check.

jforte · September 30th, 2007, 22:30

Yes, I received a conditional offer the same day. It was conditional upon the results of the sim ride (if you want to call it that), the background check and the driving history. I just hate the waiting game, so I was curious how long it takes to hear on average.
