On a serious note, maybe I would go into cardiac arrest (and lose my medical) sharing a less than desirable hotel room with a 23yo kid getting paid 250 wk during training? LoL.
Thanks again!
Before too big of a hole gets dug, read here. It takes a bit of drift towards the end;

But to reiterate a point made. Yep, those on the HR boards know all too well that although one type of experience isn't directly related to another, it can be taught and isn't rocket surgery. The guys that know this best are the ones on the HR/interview panels with military experience. They ALSO know very well that even though a particular candidate may have the SAME crayon set he does, if said candidate thinks his crayons are too sharp and shiny to go color with the rest of the kids, there's AT LEAST another 100 applicants in the stack do know how to share and color with the other kids.
In other words, he can sniff out an arrogant/condescending attitude, regardless of the persons background and experience. As well as determine if the candidate is going to be a good fit for the company's culture and pilot group.
