General Overview of Experience Was greeted by two male interns who asked for your logbooks and copies of required paperwork (which was requested in the informational packet they send you once you schedule your interview).
You are given a red pen and a copy of your application, printed from when I think I took the Hogan Test. They also printed out a flight time summary sheet the day before my interview, so it had my most updated flight times. No changes on the hours if less than 100 hours. You will initial each page and each correction, addition, or deletion. BRING YOUR OWN COPY OF YOUR MOST CURRENT APP. It will make this process more efficient and you will be more organized. Also, even though the summary sheet had the most updated hours, you still have to make the corrections on their ‘old’ copy of your app. The young interns were extremely attentive and helpful.
You will turn in your corrected and/or initialed application and log books. While you are interviewing, they will be reviewed. Your briefcase, phone and all papers, remain in the waiting room. You are permitted to bring your resume only into the small interview room. The HR portion lasted 45min-1hr and was with an FO and an HR rep. After that, was the technical skills assessmet and CRM video critique. It is one on one and lasted approx 1.2 hours. The candidate’s role is Captain. The examiner’s role is FO, Flight Attendant, dispatcher and ATC. There is a TV screen (connected to his laptop) hanging on the wall and a UAL ipad on the desk for your usage. He operated the laptop to change the graphics on the TV screen. After running though a flight, complete with briefs and callouts (from the packet they send you) it was time to watch the CRM video. The video was about 2min and at its conclusion, I just had to debrief/critique what I saw. Once complete, that was it! Spent a total of 2.5 hours with the interviewers. They were all very warm and welcoming!
