Hey IVA,
I reread the thread, nothing has changed much.
High blood pressure, failing the written or the SIM ride seems to be the three reasons for most unsuccessful interviews.
What aircraft are you current on or interviewing for?

BAA pilot interview also HGK late April
Hi IVA,
Just found out I will be going through the same process, ATP written, medical and sim ride.
Would appreciate your feedback/comments and suggestions upon your return.
In the meantime, could anyone tell me what reference material is best in order to prepare for the exam?
I am current on the Challenger 605
Many thanks...

The CAAC written is 100 questions, 70-80 are straight out of the FAA 121 ATP test, with a strong preference for airbus performance questions (but a few guys get Boeing). Your remainder are written by CAAC hacks , and frankly, you will read these questions and say "what the ,,,, are they asking me here???"
Send me your email (anyone) and I'll email you the study guide, which is current as of this months test.
If you are interviewing for a 605 slot, the correct answer to the question "Where would you prefer to live" would be a resounding "I want to live in Beijing most of all" (seriously, if you say "HK would be nice", you go to the bottom of the list))
For the sim ride, please repeat after me: I LOVE raw data, I LOVE raw data...

I (and a few others) had a bad experience with them, Wasinc that is, in China, I'm sure some people are happy with them, but they left me high and dry on one of my contracts.
Just my experience.

WASINC?? Typical total BS kind of guys. I remember an old Chinese expression that seems most applicable here, "They would lie to your face, but they can't look you in the eye".... If you've been in the biz jet biz for long, you've seen a G550 load of these guys.
Avoid ALL contractors, email BAA directly!!!!

The new BAA contracts are in place, the boys have had a hangover for a few weeks now (they drunk dial me like clockwork)... and 3 guys who left BAA to go to HK last year have been back begging. If you know anyone at the US regionals, check the Air Wisconsin boards, they have a lot of bandwidth on BAA. BAA 850 guys are the highest paid by hour or month of any in the world.

Now you guys have me worried about WASINC. I have already applied for the contract through them. Is it something I should be worried about? Should I consider not interviewing because of them? This would be my first contract and first expat experience.
