What are some reasons to why graduates of the Primary or PACE programs don get hired?
We occasionally do get feedback from the company on applicants who are not hired but not always. Anyone participating in an airline interview must know that the hiring board (typically line pilots and a representative from HR serve as the interviewers) have to satisfy themselves, in a short amount of time, that the pilot is 1) someone who will work with others in the flight deck and 2) someone who is technically strong (instrument knowledge, weather, systems, etc). Some of the reasons for No Hire that we’ve had in the past range from 1) applicant was unprepared for the interview (had not continued to study and was not prepared for instrument questions, etc.), 2) applicant exhibited a cocky attitude, acted like the interview was just a formality and the job was theirs, 3) applicant was so nervous, hyperventilated, couldn’t answer questions, couldn’t brief an approach, choked, or 4) the background check (that all airlines conduct) revealed driving history problems, criminal misdemeanors,
