| Which Airline did you interview with? | American Airlines | ||||||
| How many days between invite, interview, and listed availability? | 4 months | ||||||
| Did you include volunteer work in your application? | Yes | ||||||
| Did you receive a job offer? | Yes | ||||||
| If you did not receive the CJO why do you think you weren’t chosen to continue in the process? | N/A | ||||||
| What is your experience? | Military | ||||||
| Total Flight Time | 2,000-3,000 | ||||||

|
||||||
| General Overview of Experience | Both days were extremely smooth and painless. All Capt/FOs and the Recruiting Team were extremely nice and helpful. No surprises. | ||||||
| How long did you have your application in before you received an invite? | 1-6 months | ||||||
| Did you attend a job fair? | No | ||||||
| Did you do anything special that triggered the interview invitation? | I wasn’t able to determine why I got the email over a lot of my peers with comparable or better education/GPAs, flight hours, and leadership positions besides the possibility that having >350 hours in the last 365 days had something to do with it. Two internal recommendations and updating my app constantly (daily) probably helped as well! | ||||||
| How many internal recs did you have? | 1-2 | ||||||
| How long was it from the time of your invite to the actual interview? | 4 weeks | ||||||
| Did you have any issues with logbooks, application or paperwork? | I am still working my Palace Chase package to get released 6 months early. Therefore, I did not have a DD214 or other paperwork on hand showing my separation/termination date. I had my leadership email me a simple signed MFR stating my Active Duty Service Commitment (ADSC) date and the date I was trying to get for early release from active duty. This worked great. Also, another person in my group emailed the recruiters his college transcripts before flying to DFW, but they didn’t get them. He had to track them down the first day of interviews (Lesson: bring your official transcripts in hand!). Note: The Laquinta has a computer and printer if needed! | ||||||
| Technical Test Questions | No technical test. You will sit down with a Capt and FO. Very relaxed, but professional. They give you hypothetical scenarios that, if you did interview prep with FAPA/ECIC, you will be ready for. 1) Typical wind shear scenario in all of the gouge (they asked about wind shear procedures in my current plane (KC-10), 2) Landing at a field at minimums and, if you go missed, you may land with less than 45 minutes reserve. They will give you a sheet that describes how to answer (Situation, Action, Response, Result). | ||||||
| What was the hardest technical question or content you experienced during the job knowledge test? | N/A | ||||||
| HR Questions | One recruiter (non-pilot, HR-type) will ask you admin questions and confirm info on your application. They will ask you to talk through the wind shear scenario to a person who is not a pilot. Questions: Which is more important: Customer Service, or Company Policy/Goals (forget the exact term). I said ‘customer service’ and explained. Also, they asked me about a time when I had to sacrifice customer service for company policy and vice versa. I don’t think the answers are as important as how you answer them and how you discuss your true thoughts on the subjects. | ||||||
| Cog Test | 3.5 hours. Not bad, just do your best and have fun with it. You will feel like you did not do well on it. | ||||||
| How long prior to the interview did you prepare for the HR portion of the interview? | 1 week | ||||||
| Which HR Prep service did you use and did it help? | FAPA w/ Panel Option (Skype) | ||||||
| Any additional information you would like to add. | It was a pleasure to go through the whole experience! Everything is smooth, seamless, and no-nonsense. Everyone is warm, professional, and welcoming. | ||||||
| Is there anything you wish you could have done different to prepare you for this process? | Brought paperwork showing my ADSC date and/or requested separation date with Palace Chase. | ||||||
| What can we do to improve our services? |
