No one owes you anything and you're lucky that you even have an interview so Cowboy the F*ck up and show up on time and stop whinning.
Actually, don't. I want you to go to AWAC so I don't have to fly with your premadona ***.

"In your day" folks paid $10,000 to FlightSafety to get trained on the Saab or Brasilia or Metro or Bandit or Jetstream...does that make pay-for-training acceptable? Does that mean everybody should do it? Only in the airlines would somebody apply to a company
in the middle of a recruitment shortfall and get tapped for an interview, only to be told they aren't guaranteed transportation to and from the interview.
I've done one Part 91 interview and got a full Y fare on American, paid Marriott, rental car, and reimbursed for all out-of-pocket expenses. Didn't get the job but I sure as hell wish I had...wouldn't have to work in such a tight-ass industry where people are so blindly accepting of draconian recruitment and retention policies.
