relize you got a failure. Then the faiure goes away. Dont worry the screen flashes red when it happens. There were 12 that started the day 2 left in the first 10 minutes. I think 2 more left durring the day. and I only think that 5 or 6 were offered the job but I do not know because they broke us up towards the end of the day. I was the last to leave around 4pm. I still made my flight home at 5:05. I was offered the job on the spot. That is a nice perk with this company. Win or loose you know. Just get a good nights sleep before because it is a long day and you want to be able to function. Hr. was short and basic. I had a little trouble with tech because I have been in FMS Jets for the last 7 years and I rarely put out a low enroute chart, I did not know some of the symbology of the chart. Know DP's study the DFW 10-9 page for where to look for freks and where to look for runway info (back side of the page). I got asked what the blank triangle inside of a compass rose ment and I had know idea. Also I had know Idea where to look for the top of class B on an enroute chart. and the floor of class B on an enroute chart.(it was the mea of the airway that transitioned the air space). those are the things that triped me up and I still got the job offer. just be relaxed. oh make sure you do all your paper work. They love paperwork. if you have worked at more than one aviation company in the last 5 years make sure you do background paper work for every company you worked for. you will have to print more copys of the application.
Just a quick note on the original gouge. It bothered me till I realized the information was a little mixed up regarding when we can descend below the DA on an approach. You can continue down to 100' (AGL) if you see the approach lights, not the red side bars or terminating lights. The Red side bars and terminating lights are used to descend to the runway as part of the 11 or so odd things else listed. It was just mixed up. Hope that helps.
I interviewed on 08/29/11 and the sim profile was the one in MEM. Exactly same as the one on 05/15/11 (09/26/11)
I stayed at Days Inn and Suites DFW Airport South on 13954 Trinity Boulevard, Euless, TX. It's pretty close to the AA headquarter and a lot cheaper than the Candlewood Suites they list on their interview confirmation email, even after the AE discount. People I met at the interview told me they didn't even serve breakfast at Candlewood. At the Days Inn I had some at least, nothing fancy though. The room was new and clean. Some restaurants are within a walking distance but the van driver is usually available to give you a ride and he's also used to taking people to the interviewees to the headquarters. (09/27/2011)
I interviewed on 10/11/11 and this gouge is still spot on, the comment above about studying the DFW 10-9 page is really important. Sim profile was a hold at MEM VOR, didn't even turn outbound before vectors to the ILS 09 into MEM were given. Everyone gets a different hold, so don't bother trying to discuss and get a leg up. Started with 9 people in the morning, one dropped immediately after the logbook review, two more throughout the day, 6 of us got the offer. I was the last to get done with all three parts and was back in the terminal by 4PM to catch my flight. If your paperwork is in order, you study this gouge and have a small amount of common sense/professionalism you will be just fine....GOOD LUCK! (10/14/2011).
Interviewed a few days ago. The gouge was spot on, know your jepps most importantly. Out of 11 people interviewing, 7 were sent home without a job offer. Only 4 including myself were hired. Good luck. (12/7/2011)
