Technical Test Questions | I don’t remember the specific questions, but most of them were aerodynamic or engine related. I had a few weather questions, a few rate of descent calculations, a holding question, and a few airport signage questions. The RST 15 day checklist prepared me to answer most of the questions. Some of the answers are very similar. Remember to choose the “best and most complete” answer. |

Cog Test | As advertised on RST. |
Cog Math Questions | Much easier than RST questions. Made it through 4 or 5. |

TMAAT you had to make a difficult decision in the airplane. TMAAT you had an emergency. WWYD if the FAs arrive late to the aircraft and are flustered. You are scheduled to board passengers in 5 min. WWYD if the CA didn’t want to follow a company procedure? How would you escalate? Would you go to the Chief Pilot? |

Which HR Prep service did you use and did it help? | Emerald Coast Interview Consulting. Absolutely helped! |
Any additional information you would like to add. | Remember to keep a positive attitude and try to stay relaxed throughout the interview process. I believe they are evaluating your personality and social skills just as much as they are gauging your knowledge. |
Is their anything you wish you could have done different to prepare you for this process? | Start preparing as early as you can! |
