Study and understand the Jepp info. If you have been flying instruments it should be just tightening things up. The best thing you can do is spend $20 on aviationinterviews.com and look at the gouge.

They are going to take you on a hypothetical flight from ABC to XYZ and ask you things about the airport diagram, take off requirements etc. What would you do if this happened in flight. Show you an enroute chart, ask what different things mean.

Get DFW airport info and look at the questions on A I .com and identify the answer on the charts. They could use another airport like ORD or LGA. Don't know if they still are. The gouge indicated they have. Same concept.

No real wrong answers for the most part in the HR. Just be honest and prepared to talk about yourself and aviation career. Own up to any mistakes or failures.

It SHOULD go without saying, but I WILL say it because there was an individual who got shown the door.

Wear a suit. That alone is not a total failure but you ARE interviewing for a job that COULD make it your last interview. More importantly ACT like someone you would want to put the life of your family in their hands. Don't say anything that would reflect otherwise.

Put forth a little effort and you will be offered a job.

Hey thanks for the info, been looking at AI.com getting up on that gouge and all, looked at the sim gouge there and last entry was 6June16, is envoy doing sim rides still? I've been flying RW for the last 1.5 years and a little rusty with FW sim.

Thanks Again.

No more sim rides just HR and tech, good luck!

That's good to hear. I am hoping to have less that the current 5 week projection off before starting IOE.

Yeah, sometimes classes who are close together get lumped in when it comes to IOE, depending on check airmen availability.

I know for sure some from the 11/21 class doing/starting ioe and one even done and on the line.

Quick question for those that just went through the hiring process. I'm seeing post on here that shows about 90 days to get through training, is this still about right (day 1-IOE)?

What was the time between interview and class date?

And lastly, was all training (ground/systems) in the classroom, or did it have home based computer training or a mix. Hopefully it was all classroom based.

Thanks again

Sorry to hear that, no airline needs that type in the cockpit.

What would be truly funny is to LET them sit in the left seat after amassing all those 3-400 121 hours as an FO. Suddenly, the mantle of CA won't be so great, as it comes with the excessive weight of great responsibility. Then again, they may not realize what they have gotten themselves into even at that point.

They think they've got everything all figured out, they know far more than everybody else (including the guy in the left seat with tons of experience), and think they deserve to be in the left seat after 6 months. Just another way things have changed at this airline over the years.

If your part of the RW transition program, there's only the HR portion, no Tech.
