3rd regional in 1 year
I got my first airline interview with Mesaba/Colgan. It's for a FA position in the Q400 or the Saab 340. It's two weeks away and i have no idea what to study. I started looking for gouge online. I suppose I should know the aircraft I've flown in and out. I'm gonna start flying the sim at work every night. Any other advice?

It could not of come at a better time though, I was about to drop some cash to get 14 hours of multi time to get to 100 total and enroll in ATP Regional Jets Standards Program.

I hope I don't blow it.

That wasn't negative at all. Don't take everything so personally... especially stuff that is said online.

You'll be happy in the long run that you sidestepped that!

Damn... somebody has a case of the mooonndays.

On another note it never hurts to read the AIM, I don't know of any aviation company's hiring process that doesn't pull questions from there also.

I must apologize, I was having a really bad day. A good friend of mine passed away and I was dealing with that on top of finishing school, work, and preparing for this interview.

Thanks! I appreciate that!

I got to sit down yesterday with a guy who flew as a captan for American Eagle, Skywest, Netjets, and a Falcon 9000. He had all his notes from every interview he has ever done. He grilled me pretty good so I feel a lot more prepared.

I am a little worried about the IQ test. The practice questions i've looked at are hard!

I'm also worried about the sim ride. All the IFR training i have done is in a G1000. I have zero steam gauge IFR experience. I have been practicing in our sim (g1000 Barron) with the MFD turned off. Does any one have any advice for flying an AST-300?

You got a call with less than the 100 hours multi? I'm sitting at 92ME....

Colgan only requires 75 hours of ME time. Or at least thats what airlineapps.com says when I compare my qualifications with their minimums. I also had two internal letters of recommendation delivered to the chief pilot of Pinnacle and Masaba. That's probably why I got the interview.
