I'd like to hear your interview experiences with SXS in as much detail as possible particularly the types of question asked and overall difficulty of the interview?
Thanks.
Ranging from hard to medium-hard overall. It's a 1-hour long interview so expect being tired and bored after half way in. Technical questions are abundant and you're expected to have an overall grasp of the documents, annexes...etc. Psychological interview/HR/CRM questions are not too complex but they like to ask you questions that you'll have a hard time to explain yourself. For technical questions that you don't know the answer, politely say you don't know the exact answer, but you may make an educated guess based on other technical knowledge.
Remember: SXS are known for being extremely elective in the final interview. In my interview day, the success ratio was 0/5. They aren't looking for good pilots: they are looking for a specific type of colleague to work with, so don't feel bad or "not enough" if you fail.. Be yourself, don't be too rigid, they want pilots that are flexible enough to be bent according to their needs & calm but not disinterested pilots. Good Luck!
