Ummm..... I am DD, he is Sheep boy...LMAO!!!!!!! :)


Yeah I am also waiting to hear how this turns out.
 
Me too....Its always good though to hear when someone is able to get one their dream jobs.
 
One down, one to go!

I may be a semi-professional interviewer, but not a stellar intervewee. Sheesh, I felt like a bumbling idiot sitting there explaining my rather uneventful flying career (although, uneventful is good in this industry).

I arrived in Seattle the night before and a friend in class right now took me through the training center. It was a surreal experience walking through the halls seeing the sims, classrooms, and huge five-foot models of various Alaska airliners. Had all morning in the hotel to stew and pace, doing a little last minute studying.

Showed up a full half-hour early, I'm such a geek. Sat in the hot seat as the trainees and operations people strolled by smiling, "hihowareya" "goodluck" "itsjustaninterview." Ha!

The interview was with Alaska's main pilot HR person and two line captains. Me on one side of a table, the three of them on the other. Starts with the mandatory "ever been convicted" type questions. Then I give my 10 background spiel. That prompted some questions about this workplace or that. Questions arose about some remarks of different flights in my logbook, an emergency here, abnormality there. Mainly questions involving CRM issues, a little on aircraft systems, then I aced the Jepp questions.

It was a little over an hour. Then I was seated in front of a computer to take an online psych assessment. During that time I was told I made it through the first interview and they would be in touch to schedule the second.

So. . . . now I sit waiting for the phone to ring to schedule interview no. 2! From what I've heard, the second is much like the first only with different people.

GOOD JOB! Were you the only person they interviewed? Does Alaska hire guys with Turboprop PIC time?
 
Congrats on the 1st half!! You are the third person I know of who is interviewing with them. Love to see that movement to the bigger airlines. I'm sure you will do great during part duex.
 
And you were all worried and nervous. We knew you had it in you. DesertDog and myself were pacing with you over the past day or so. I interviewed for job the other day and just like you I wonder if the guy understood what I was saying. He must have though because I went for the drug test and filled out the rest of the paperwork for the background check...

Good luck and you will be just fine on 2nd interview also....You have got the best coach in the game on your side....He has the best view of the field from up above
 
Whoa, I missed this whole thread until I saw it today. Congrats on making in through the first round, and I'm sure you'll do great on the rest.

I just want to tell you good luck... we're all counting on you.
