What Would You Do If... Interview Questions?

[A1TAPE]

Why do gate agents feel that the plane and jumpseat is "theirs" and they would be itching to close the door on time even if no pax got onboard? Doesnt the aircraft and jumpseat belong to the capt when he gets onboard?

Why doesn't JC have an ignore button for trolls?

What would you do if you got a call about a flight to Benghazi and they said the Rebels had control of the air field?

I would tell a gate agent so they could rush to get the aircraft pushed.

What would you do if you got an ACARS from Denzel Washington saying "INVERTED. ALSO INTOXICATED. GOT THIS."?

We diverted them to Tunisia.

We diverted them to Tunisia.

How did the gate agents feel about you diverting THEIR aircraft? What did you do when the mx tech called about it?

It was a fuel stop so no gate agent. We had an ops rep and mechanic on board. They were all smart enough to know that was their ride out.

That's gonna really blow someone's mind on here that there was no gate agent.

What is your greatest strength? What is a weakness? Tell me about a time you had a conflict with a coworker. How did you resolve it? Why should we hire you? Why do you want to work here?

Make sure you have answers to these questions. Honestly, I wouldn’t worry about the scenario questions too much. Scenario questions are tough to prepare for, especially when you don’t have experience, because there can be any number of “right” or “wrong” answers. The thing about scenario questions is to be able to justify the answer that you gave, or the decision that you made.

basically what Flying Saluki said, plus the basic regulations and weather(I definitely heard that HR questions or similar to most interviews

I'm pretty familiar with working for a cargo airline. I was just poking fun at the whole gate agent thing. As if any dispatcher ever has cared about what a gate agent thinks.

Thanks! Just trying to prepare the best I can. I'm excited for this interview opportunity that I have coming up.

I figured but sarcasm doesn’t always text well

A flight calls you at the gate with an mx issue. Maint arrives and MELs and placards the inop items. However, the mx tech gets on the phone with you and asks that you put the MELs into the computer not mx control. What would you do?

I would say "okay"
