A really good friend of mine has an interview next week! He’s so excited… what sort of questions beyond the usual “what would you do” type should he expect? Technical 737 stuff or not? Any intel appreciated, thanks!!

Q400 captain trying to move west! Just found out I have to move and missed the last bid by a few days. Anyone wanting to swap bases to Toronto from Vancouver? Email me if interested! fly_lots@yahoo.ca

If you apply all the learning factors, and deliver good PGI at the whiteboard, you will pass the flight test. At least, that's the case for everyone else I've ever met - if you can get to the airplane, you've passed the test. Remember, an instructor flight test is passed at the whiteboard, with goo...

Your circumstance have a big impact on what kind of a flight test you are going to get. It could range from a pretty basic review to them giving you the full monty. So before commenting more detail is needed. 1) How long your has your Class 2 been expired ? 2) Have you ever done a Class 2 renewal o...

Question to anyone who has completed a Flight Instructor ride in the last few months: I'm getting set to renew an old Class 2 rating and I'm curious what the examiners are asking about these days. (i.e. one month they caught us off guard by asking for ADF and Night as the PGI; :o a couple years late...

So...we have some people here who are really positive in their opinion of the owner of the school in question. And we have some who are not so positive in their opinion. The positive ones seem to be inexperienced in aviation, or at least this sector of avition. The not so positive ones seem general...

And the Island Coastal Aviation website shows a ton of recent testimonials from pretty happy customers from practically everywhere -- tells me this guy is good and has an international rep. I know nothing about this company, but I have to ask....does any company website post testimonials from unsat...

It would be a far better choice than the other school on the same field.. I agree. I have known lots of people who trained with them both recently and when they were back on Vancouver Island, heard nothing but amazing stories and even more amazing photos to prove it. I never knew another school who...

The problem is I work in the US. Here they don't ask you for that.ive worked for two different airlines and neither one ask for certified copies. I'm not even sure if they will certify it for me. Secondly I don't want to ask them to certify it before having a job offer, why else would I ask them to...

Any Idea when calls go out for the ground school? Most of the time the offer call comes about a month before the class start date, from reports I've heard. Mine was a bit closer than that, but was still almost 3 weeks ahead. Six weeks had passed before that (between the medical/criminal check and t...

+1!!

I also had a question. I did my interview on Feb 7, sim check on Feb 18, got the call for the medical/ref/criminal checks on Feb 21, completed the medical and criminal paperwork on Feb 22... and that's the last I've heard! No PFO received yet *whew*... unless it came by snail-mail (currently out of ...

Good threads already posted about the interview and sim eval. Here's a couple:

My references got called before I did my medical actually. References were called on Jan. 6th, I did my medical on the 9th and got the offer on the 11th, so once the process begins, it seems to happen pretty quickly. Before the medical, wow... My medical was booked for the morning right after the p...

Waiting game continues... interview was early Feb (success), sim check was mid Feb (success), got the call scheduling me for the drug screen and criminal record check early this past week. Completed both of those, so now I suppose after they get those results they start calling references? Does anyo...
