2 years ago I talked with a 777FO who was somehow connected to pilot recruitment... he said that they were only taking 1/3 to 1/2 of their guaranteed interview folks because a lot of those guys came off as either unprepared for the interview or entitled and arrogant about the job already being theres... then said something about showing up to interviews dressed like a non conformist also not helping guys.

Take it for what it's worth, which is just about zero.

Legitimate question for the ones going up for interviews under the garaunteed interview program. Are guys doing the EC (or whoever) interview Prep and the RST 15 day technicial prep etc. courses prior to going to their interviews like the majority of the OTS hires are (I haven't heard of anyone going to delta NOT using interview prep)?


If not, is it possible that that's why there's a stigma that folks going through their Preferntial interview programs aren't prepared?
