But if they interview you they would like to hire you. A 1500-hour CFI will have to shine in all respects, probably more so than someone with thousands of 135/121 hours. But the CFI should already have all the knowledge covered, they are just going to ask him about the stuff he's teaching on a daily basis. 121 types should prepare for a PC, especially if they are currently on the CRJ.



If they ask strange questions they're (probably) trying to see how you'll react...I had a buddy who I had arranged an interview for (all-around good guy actually, and nice guy too) who somehow got sideways and ****ed off by the interviewer, and he didn't get hired. I could have gotten him a re-attack but he was so PO-ed that he didn't want anything to do with SKW. Don't get mad, but at the same time don't just roll over for anything and everything...they don't want weak sisters either.
