Actually in all seriousness I could use a pointer or two on this. What sort of questions will I be asked about my flight experience? Should I prep some summaries or a type/role matrix or anything?
The no logbook actually made sense.
The phone interview pretty much served to confirm that you are who you say you are. The can ask you to provide that stuff later if they have doubts.
Once you have a few thousand hours, is it really worthwhile in an interview to do the math on how many cross-country night inverted time you have? Or would it be better to try to figure out if a person would gouge their eyes out on a 14 hr CVG-ICN flight with you?
There will be a point where they go over your resume and will ask some question here and there. It may seem that they're glossing over things but they are generally very sharp. The process here just doesn't put you through a lot of a@@ pain regarding proof. It's real simple...get caught in a lie and you're out. At the end of the whole process, they'll have a decent idea of who you are.
The honesty point above is the best tip. If you get the interview, they're telling you that the last hurdle is to prove you're not a raving lunatic.
Good luck.
