Not anymore.
So you should tell them you want to be paid at least $100,000/yr, salary, don't like working with incompetent people or lazy people, you'll tell the captain he better call in sick or you'll call him in drunk, your last boss was a jerk that treated workers like crap, you'd rather know what bases are available and how long you'll have to sit on reserve, tell them that you're just there for the 1000 PIC and then you're off to the majors, and what kind of airplane will I be in?
EVERYBODY is faking it.
The successful ones are faking it well, while being personable, making carefully thought-out statements that show they are human and are professional.
