SA interview
The interview with SA is very straight forward; they start with the company orientation and followed by HR and tech interview with chief pilots from B777 & B747. The interview is three on one.
My interview started with general questions from the HR person.
1. Did you have any difficulty filling out the paperwork?
2. How did I start my aviation career?
3. Why did you want to become a pilot?
4. Why do you want to work for SA?
5. Why do you want to leave your current job?
6. What if kalitta air offers you for a job, will you accept it? (I’m from KYIP.)
Chief pilot B747.
1. Any violations while flying?
2. Any failed checked rides?
3. Any failed PC?
4. Any extra training?
5. What do you need to descend below DA?
6. When can you go below MDA?
Chief pilot B777.
1. What is CRM to you?
2. Explain the landing gear on your airplane?
Some guys were asked to explain electric system on their airplane, some were asked about landing gear system and one guy was asked about memory item on his aircraft.
Simulator: (B747-200).
Take off from KJFK and climb to 5000feet. Turns to the right and left. Holding over the VOR and vector for ILS approach. Flaps 10 selected threw the whole simulator ride. The B747 fly 8 degrees nose up with flaps setting 10 degrees.
After the interview they call you within two weeks if you got the job or an email if you didn’t get the job.
I hope this kind of helped,
Good luck!
