Great advice! Everyone who interviews is a pilot, and they know how to fly. Some have done it longer, and have more hours. Doesn’t always make them a good pilot.
But if you come prepared, with a good attitude, and show them you want to be here, I am sure you will do well (you being ANYONE who wishes to interview at EDV).
No one wants to sit next to a cocky or arrogant person for 8-12 hours a day for three to five days at a time, and those are likely to be the ones not to get a CJO.
And pay for gouge? I wouldn’t, unless it was my “forever” airline.

I coughed up the $ for a gouge. Wasn’t useful to me.
