Anyone have a current gouge for the interview? I already have my ATP with the CL-65 type rating.
What should I expect from the interview?

If you are already typed I would expect to get grilled pretty hard on systems knowledge. They won't try to play stump the chump, but will try to find the edge of your knowledge base.

Just got back from a trip and my CA mentioned that the interview is purely HR now. So, no sim, no CRM exercise no tech questions. I'm finding it hard to believe, but if it's true, you'll be hired if you simply show up...

The outstation bases (PSP,FAT, TUS, COS) typically have very early morning departures and very late arrivals at night. Most of the pairings either start real early or get off really late(or both). It would put you commuting in the day before, or going home the day after a lot of the time. Living in domicile would be fine if you don't mind 5am shows or 11pm releases.
Hub pairings on the other hand typically don't have as many early shows/late releases as the aircraft overnight at the outstations. They still have some flying like this, but the majority of the pairings will have mid morning-mid afternoon/evening show and release times. Much easier for commuting.
Get on SkyWestonline when you're eligible and you can look at all of the different domiciles pairings under the PBS page.

so PDX went JR comparatively. I will be applying soon and PDX is my goal. I know things change constantly and its so hard to predict AC staffing and hiring, but which plane would get me to PDX the fastest from what people are seeing? according to this list they are the same for this period but what do people think will happen in the future? people are transferring over to the "new jet" and new hires are preferring the E jet. I dont care about sitting on reserve longer, i don't care about upgrade time (yet) I just want the QOL the fastest. that is what is important to me and my family at this time in our lives.
