I've recommended two people that didn't get in.m both ATPs with a lot of time already. I told them to download the Shepard interview prep.. They didn't... They failed the test.. No job offer. One wound up at C5 the other back to his 135.

7/20/15 hire, left another regional, God bless, to come here. Interview starts with a short written test 25-30 questions all ATP type SheppardAir has a gouge I believe. Must make 85% or better. Then about 1.5 hours of presentations and a free lunch (Firehouse subs when I did it). Short 1 on 1 HR/ technical interview. All really standard questions, why Piedmont? TMAT.... Brief this jepp approach, what are green taxiway lights for? When can you start?
There were a couple more questions, but it was relaxed and professional. The one guy that didn't get an offer out of 7 of us that day didn't pass the written.

It is seniority based. They can't open a position to new hires that has not already been offered to the pilot group. So once they run out of pilots on property that are willing and able to go to the 145, they will open those positions to new hires. If you want to fly the 145 at PDT in the near future, my advice would be to suck it up and accept a Dash position. Who knows the old girl might even teach you a thing or to.

I'm in class now, interviewed in Dec. The interview is like what most people have mentioned. I didn't study for the ATP quiz but most of it is pretty easy ****. Otherwise very easy, professional and friendly interview. You can start within a few weeks if you have the qualifications and they offer you a position. PM me if you have any specific questions.
