Back when I interviewed it was a 3-hour written test with a short essay on mach tuck and the theory of aerodynamics that cause dutch roll.
Then it was off to the sim, where we flew some V1 cuts in the SR-71 sim they have and a few approaches and missed approaches (single engine, of course) to a (simulated) carrier landing, at night, with rough seas.
After that, if you passed, they sent you off to survival training in the desert. Like NASA used to do.
Simple stuff really.
I don't know what they do anymore. But I've heard from a knowledgeable source that there is a written test with ATP questions and a simulator check that tests IFR skills.
And don't tell them that you want the job so bad that you'll work for free. They had one recently who did that. Not sure he made it to the survival training part....

I heard it was a one hour oral, specifically describing what it was like "back on the 146"

Very good chances. LGA and ORF are the most junior bases. DCA in the middle, and PHL more senior, but all 4 bases are possible right off the bat, and you probably can hold any base (at least on reserve) within a few months.

Hello all,
Just curious if Wisky is still hiring? I put in an app about 3 weeks ago and the website still shows "not reviewed". Just curious if they are overwhelmed with apps or getting pickier with the influx of pilots.
