I hope they keep having open spots in ORD...

Do they send you training materials to study up on before your class date?

No. Just because you state your preference of aircraft/base when you get the call doesn't mean that's the way it will be on the first day when people pick. In my class a couple of the folks told them CRJ and ended up getting SJU ATR.

aviationinterviews.com and willflyforfood.cc, plus talking with a friend of mine who just went through the interview, was all it took. They are looking for teachable, not a Shuttle commander!

The Sim is VERY pitch sensitive. If you have never flown a FRASCA, it probably won't be your best effort, but again, they are looking for good skills, not a FRASCA expert. Make sure you are hand flying as much as possible (safely, of course) and keeping your scan up.

Memorize the AE mission/vision statement, specifically the "safest, most reliable, most successful" part, with an emphasis on "safest".

Good luck!

I interviewed yesterday and out of 4 of us I was the only one who got the pre-offer letter. One was sent home within minutes because of paper work issues and the others were sent home after everything was completed. Of course they don't tell you why you were sent home, but they both thought everything went well. The gouges on willflyforfood.com are spot on.

I would reemphasis the safety part as well. Just be yourself. They are looking for people who will not only be a great pilot but someone who will fit the American Eagle culture and work well with others.
