Just an outsider, who flies and hires for a manufacturer, if you can't remember an employer from 10-15 years FLYING an airplane for them, that's a HUGE red flag. Anyone applying here has to fill out a complete work history, included any umployed periods back to college. That's pretty standard US corporate ways now. Comply or you won't be looked at virtually anywhere worthwhile. Remember, no interview is going be able to judge " skill at night over West Africa"; they are going judge you by tests, interviews and possibly a sim.

Yes, interview skills counts as does appearances. I did a phone interview that went great; solid guy flying at Andrews, Presidential Flight, came to personal interview a week later and feel apart. Ten minutes after walking in, I couldn't wait for it to end for both our sakes. Painful.
