Dear Readers,

This month, Aero Crew Solutions is announcing the first ever, FREE virtual job fair for pilots. Instead of spending money on travel expenses, pilots can now save their hard earned cash and time by signing up for this FREE Virtual Pilot Job Fair! You will still get your 10 to 20 minutes in front of a recruiter (or more if they select you for an on-the-spot interview). All you will need to participate is a tablet/computer with a camera and an internet connection. This will be the first of many job fairs of this kind. Not only is this job fair free, but the extended hours will accommodate your busy work schedule. If you happen to be flying on November 17, the day of the job fair, that shouldn’t be a problem because it will run from 10am to 7pm eastern time. For additional information about the VPJF, check out the Q&A from Scott Rehn. Lastly, Aero Crew News will be available and anxious to talk to you at the VPJF. You’ll just click on our “booth” to reach us where we look forward to talking to you about how we can make Aero Crew News an even better publication that serves you! So what does this have to do with the beach? You can literally be on the beach for this Virtual Pilot Job Fair! Just make sure you still wear a suit.

In 2015, the FAA implemented that AMEs conduct cut-off completely while sleeping; to the point where they mandatory screening for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) risk wake-up briefly in order to start breathing again, though they during our flight physicals.

The NTSB then occurs repeatedly, up to 15 to 30 awakenings per hour, so that set OSA in its gunsights after the captain was diagnosed with the victim never enters the deep or restorative sleep phase. severe obstructive sleep apnea. In 2013, the NTSB and the FAA The obstruction is typically adipose tissue accumulation in the cracked down hard, at first stating that any pilot with a “body respiratory passages caused by excessive weight gain, as well as mass index of 40 or greater would be evaluated for OSA.” They genetic factors such as a soft-palate, large tongue and/or age. cited that a pilot who is a victim of OSA may be “flying with Sleeping on one’s back, where gravity is a factor can further the performance-equivalent of having blood-alcohol content of exacerbate the closure.

resistant or already suffer from type-2 diabetes, you never remember your dreams, or you have high blood-pressure. Beyond falling asleep at the controls (to which pilots are already prone due to constant jetlag-inducing flight scheduling and circadian disruption), those in the OSA risk group are also at risk for stroke, heart-arrhythmia, heart-attack, hypertension and memory loss. All of this is further compounded when you factor in a snapshot of many of our typical monthly flight scheduling, and the circadian disruption it inherently causes (legal by Part 117 rest standards). Many times we do it to ourselves because pilots are so productivity-driven and we think we can sleep adequately in the back of a plane or in a crashpad bunk. The best strategy you can implement to begin lowering your risk and curing your OSA, is to first to consult a medical professional and sleep specialist for evaluation. There are many medical treatments, such as oral appliances, dental appliances (to keep your airway open ergonomically), CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machines, and even surgical interventions. But, if you want to avoid all of this drama and associated time out of the cockpit (from being medically grounded), simply take charge of your life and start losing weight (fat) by altering your lifestyle through diet and exercise. It works well most of the time and it’s free!

September 2017 | 41 Q&A with Tracy Gallo VP of Flight Operations

For a better idea of why SkyWest is the top choice for pilots and how to prepare as a candidate, we talked with Tracy Gallo, vice president of Flight Operations at SkyWest:

What are you looking for in a pilot candidate? SkyWest pilots are top-tier and experience some of the best training in the industry. We look for professionals with great work ethic who are looking to join an exceptional team. Once a pilot fills out the online application for the first officer position, we evaluate their qualifications, ensure they are within three to four months of having their ATP or R-ATP hour requirements, and the team sets up an interview. In the interview, we’re looking for the sharpest pilots who are knowledgeable and will represent SkyWest guiding principles like personal reliability, respect and teamwork, and personal integrity.

Once you’ve completed the interview process, we’ll take care of your CTP course and help with whatever we can to make sure you’re ready for ground school.

We use AQP curriculum, and we focus on professionalism and proficiency for every pilot. Like I said before, our instructors are all SkyWest pilots who know what it’s like to fly the line, and they are our best. I’d be so bold to say that we have the best training team in the industry — regional and mainline. Many pilots who come to SkyWest have aspirations to fly for a mainline airline, and we support that; we want them to fulfill their dreams. Some come with that goal and make the decision to

After the Interview

played a role in organizing and conducting the logistics of the day. You’ll also want to get the mailing address for the pilot-hiring department. I highly recommend that you send thank-you notes after the interview. Right now you’re probably asking yourself, “Do I really need to do that?” Yes, you do! There is a recurring theme in my book Cockpit to Cockpit: The airlines have plenty of qualified applicants. They are looking for the pilot willing to go the extra mile. Thank-you notes are part of the extra mile. They can also partially make up for an interview question or two that may not have gone as well as you would have liked. You may have even bombed a response to one of their questions, or the interviewers picked up on something that came off the wrong way. The personal thank- you note could help them look past a few interview hiccups. You can write one note to the entire interview and HR team, or you can really knock their socks off by writing individual notes to each team member. If you take the former approach, at least try to address each team member by name somewhere in the thank-you note. There is a good sample thank-you note you can use as a guide included with the Cockpit to Cockpit support package products available at www.Cockpit2Cockpit.com.

Here are some things to consider that will at least keep you busy so your eyes don’t fall out of your head from staring at the phone too hard. A “Thank You” Goes a Long Way As you go through your interview process, try to collect names and business cards of the key personnel with whom you interact, including those from the HR department, administrative personnel, interviewers, and anyone else who

Therefore the pilot hiring board decides to give Bob a thanks-but-no-thanks (TBNT). Hopefully these examples demonstrate how important it can be to have as many people as possible at the pilot hiring board show up prepared to go to bat for you. So how do you do that? First, make sure you ask during your interview when your pilot hiring board will take The Pilot Hiring Board place.

Ask them to hand-walk a hard copy of your it to the pilot hiring board. Generally speaking, a pilot hiring recommendation letter and/or résumé to their domicile chief board will be convened every four to six weeks to make a final pilot and go to bat for you. If they can’t get to the chief pilot in hiring decision on all the pilot interviews since the last hiring person, at least ask them to send an email with an electronic board. copy of the LOR and/or résumé to their domicile chief pilot. Ideally, you want to find someone you know at each domicile The pilot hiring board usually consists of the pilot hiring to go to their chief pilot on your behalf in order to maximize the manager, key HR personnel, and the chief pilot or assistant number of chief pilots going to bat for you at the pilot hiring chief pilot from each domicile.

I realize that’s probably unrealistic but do your best to the thank-you notes there is nothing else you can do after the cover as many domiciles as possible. interview to affect the chances of being hired…but you would be wrong about that. Getting the Call Picture this: The pilot hiring board convenes their meeting. The time between the airline interview and getting “the In front of them, they have a file on each of the pilot candidates call” can be agonizing. Every time the phone rings and you see to be considered for that board. The leader of the team calls an unfamiliar number, your heart will skip a beat. “Could this out the first pilot candidate’s name being considered. “Okay, be it?” first up is Holly Hulahan.

Congratulations! Try not to let your voice crack management and communicating the plan. Anyone have any like a thirteen-year-old boy. There are a few key questions to additional information on her?” One of the domicile chief ask before you hang up the phone to call your spouse, parents, pilots responds, “Yeah, I had two of my pilots personally go to and others. Ask what the next step is in the process. Often there bat for Holly. They came to my office with hard-copy, signed are more forms to complete and more information needed by recommendation letters and had nothing but positive praise for the airline. You will also want to ask when you will receive a her flying skills and personality.” Two other domicile chief pilots training-class date.
