Colgan Interview

For those that don't already know.
Enter your flight time totals in accordance with FAR Part 61 (see below). However, DO NOT include any "PIC" pilot time that was also logged as "dual". Even though the FARs allow you to log PIC time and dual time simultaneously under certain circumstances, the airlines want your PIC time to reflect only the time that you had "final authority and responsibility for the operation and safety of the flight".
IMPORTANT: The system will automatically include your instructor time in the total PIC calculation. Therefore, do not include your instructor hours with your PIC time. For example, if you have 1000 hours of PIC time logged including 200 hours of Instructor time then you would enter 800 hours PIC and 200 hours Instructor.
Definitions from the FAA:
Pilot in command means the person who:
(1) Has final authority and responsibility for the operation and safety of the flight;
(2) Has been designated as pilot in command before or during the flight; and
(3) Holds the appropriate category, class, and type rating, if appropriate, for the conduct of the flight.
Second in command means a pilot who is designated to be second in command of an aircraft during flight time.

If selected, they'll call you for the phone screening and give you flight info via email. Flight Safety in LGA isnt a huge place so they only get about 10-15 during the interview. Which out of 1000+ apps isnt a whole lot. If you have less than 1800hrs you'll need an internal rec.

I have an internal rec and I was supposed to interview back in July but was told to postpone my interview because Mesaba fuloughees were getting preferential hiring. I was told to expect the 25th and a phone screening but haven't heard anything yet.

I got pre-screened as well today and chose the 9th and 10th of September to interview. I was called almost instantly after having my resume walked in...a very quick process thus far.
