Eastern Stage 2 (Continued)
China, if you are slated for 11 March, you should have already received the relevant information by the recruiting people, including what approaches to expect.
Sim is about 1 hour including briefing. Interview about 45 mins.
Read your Jepp Terminal. Good luck.

Just be yourself. The interviewers are fairly relaxed and will try to make you feel the same.
Good luck to those with stage 2 on April 1 and 8

Its been a while since Idid my interview but heres my 2 c worth.
Sim wise keep the aircraft slow its a lot more manageable (can't get busted for being safe.) Out of tolerance conduct a missed approach!!!!!!!! Don't force the issue!
Interview. Several tech q's Mainly jepp terminal visual approaches etc. Expect the "tellme about yourself" and some career Q's There is now a big trend towards CRM and conflict resolution etc. If you have a multi crew background be prepared for Have u had a conflict in the cockpit how was it resolved what did you learn from the experience. Maybe a scenario or two. Be confident but not arrogant as they r after future capt's and they may not look favourably on a crew member that thinks he/she is above there peers
Apart from that Good luck as Eastern is a great place to work.

G'day Hugh Jarse and wawoftam,
First and foremost a pleasure to see mention of how good a company Eastern Australia Airlines is. Having being employed not too long ago by EAA, I have only great and thankful words of my time with all at the abovementioned company.
Jarse, as always, it's great to respond to your posts and to touch bases with you once again, albeit through the use of 'keyboard crunching' at this stage. I sincerely look forward to visiting Sydney in the near future, when in a more relaxed and carefree mode, and catching up on old, good times. Perhaps a get-together at the Coogee Bay Hotel ? What better/similar place on the planet is there, apart from Rorkes Drift (Darwin), The Grand Hotel (Adelaide) or the more recent 'eye-opening' places of HKG
( starting to show my 'other' interests as a member of this industry ). Certainly something to look forward to during my next visit.
Wawoftam, I am not sure whether you have been successful quite yet with your EAA interview, whether you had indicated this in your post or not. However, I must agree with you 150% regarding your hints to future applicants. All very true. One I found very useful in my interview a while ago was explaining the 'James Reason Model' Or deciphering a MSL Wx Chart, with OR without the Rob Gel impersonation You are very correct though regarding questions relating to CRM scenarios.
Jarse's helpful hints should be adhered to closely. BE YOURSELF, as you would any other time... I have had to conduct myself acordingly during an interview a few months back. Sad but true - it IS obvious if you're not being yourself. I once heard through a fellow collegue, who described an applicant's behaviour during an interview, which is SO true : ' Do not shoot yourself in the foot which is already in your mouth' . If you're not sure about something, SAY IT. You'll be surprised - you'll actually gain points in an interview for being honest and more so, the WAY you handle this situation.
Well, that was my 2 cents worth, so including wawoftam's similar contribution, I'd say a tab has been started A few more like this and a visit to the CBH would appear to occur sooner than later.
Best wishes Jarse, wawoftam and to any future applicant with a passion to work for one of the better Airlines in Oz.
Take care and safe, happy landings.

Gidday Hottie!
You're too kind, mate 
Let me know when you'll be in town. Perhaps we can drag Burko
along for comic relief Looking forward to it
Further to Wawoftam's advice, fly it to the speeds as briefed in your notes and face-to-face. If you stooge around at 150kt IAS when instructed to do 200 then expect to be graded accordingly. The same if you do 280.
Memorise the configurations. If you're not very current with your IFR flying, get yourself some practice in a fast sim (doesn't need to be a twin), or hand-fly it for practice in the aeroplane.
Be consistent with your SOP's. The best ones to use are those of your current or most recent employer.
Good luck.
One question..............................WHERE'S BENDO???
