Behavioral Questions

Tips

  • Phone screening verifies flight times, experience, violations, accidents, arrest history, failed checkrides, and medical status

  • Microtel near PHL is recommended -- they provide drop-off at the interview building

  • Everyone is described as very professional
  • Possible interviewers vary by base: ORF (Jeff as Chief Pilot, Anne/Stacy in HR) and DCA (Eddie/Dave as Chief Pilots, Sara in HR)

Interview Experience

“Air Wisconsin phone screen is thorough. They go through your flight times, background, any violations, medical stuff. In-person is near Philly with the CP and an HR rep. Word on the street is if you get the call to come in, the job is yours to lose.”

Tips

  • Internal walk-in of resume is practically required to get an interview
  • Only ~30 new hires anticipated, with furloughees returning first
  • AWAC was short-staffed by 10-20 captains for 2+ years at the time
  • Phone interview follows application quickly if selected
  • Company flies US Airways Express CRJ-200 routes
  • Unique operational culture: limited thrust reverser use, SE taxi policies

Interview Experience

“Air Wisconsin was looking for about 30 pilots in 2010. Chronic captain shortage plus summer flying ramp-up. If you wanted an interview you pretty much had to do the in-person resume drop. Furlough recalls had priority over new hires.”
