General Overview of Experience	It’s a full day. Show at 7:15am, quick presentation on the company from a chief pilot. ATP test (1 applicant failed and was removed from the process). Logbook review. HR panel interview with a pilot as well. Finally, a situation based interview. They made us wait, then removed two others before they brought nthe group of seven new hires to congratulate us on our jobs (after messing bwoth us in the suspense).
How long did you have your application in before you received an invite?	<60 days
Did you attend a job fair?	Yes
Did you do anything special that triggered the interview invitation?	Went to Aimpoint job fair in San Diego. Met with chief pilot with my resume for a pre screen interview. I got the interview offer before I’d published my app.
How many internal recs did you have?	0
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?	The chief pilot told me my logbook was a mess. I turned in my Air Force HARMS products (which were a mess, but we’re also my official logbook). I put a clarifying note on my Excel product that it was not official. This was confusing. Once I’d explained that my Air Force product was not a copy, but the official product, and that I’d only put the note on my Excel product because they specified “official”, he seemed okay with it. He showed me an example of what they’re looking for, and I was polite in receiving feedback. Later, an HR person found me and reassured me that I was continuing with the process… I think they saw that I was a bit concerned about it.
Technical Test Questions	Use Sheppard Air, they have a prep for exactly this kind of test for Frontier. It was 32 questions, and everyone got a random test.
What was the hardest technical question or content you experienced during the job knowledge test?	Study Jeppessen charts if you’re not familiar. No questions were overly difficult.
HR Questions	TMAAT a crew member questioned your decisions. How do you do customer service in your current job? Why are you leaving the military? TMAAT you felt very challenged? Tell me a boldface item in your current jet? What are your considerations when they call braking action poor? What are your immediate actions if you lose an engine in flight? What is your best strength, and give an example?
Cog Test	ATP test, a few GK questions in both HR and SBI portions of the interview.
How long prior to the interview did you prepare for the HR portion of the interview?	6 months
Which HR Prep service did you use and did it help?	Emerald Coast. Did all audio and videos, one webinar, one CRM webinar after the invite, and a top off. It definitely helped.
Any additional information you would like to add.	Everyone was really nice, and made you feel at ease. The chief pilot hung out with us all day and shared war stories. Pretty good experience overall… Even though it was a long day. We left around 5:30pm.
Is there anything you wish you could have done different to prepare you for this process?	I could have done better on my own with interview prep. My top off was essential.
