Interviewer: Well hello Joe Pilot, have a seat, tell us about yourself
Applicant: Yes sir. Thank you for the opportunity to talk about why I want to become a First Officer with ABC Airlines. My flying background is XXXXXXXX, and I enjoy XXXX, etc
interview wraps up....
Interviewer: Any further questions Joe ? Any additional comments you wish to add ?
Applicant: ????? I just want to again say thank you for this opportunity to meet with you. I really want to become a First Officer with your company. Thanks again
Please be gentle...legit question (for me anyway)
I’ve been hired at an LCC and Legacy without explicitly saying these things. I also did not wrap up either interview with some crazy spiel.
They’re not looking for some magic catch phrase. They’re trying to make sure you’re not gonna annoy the **** out of the other pilot while lugging 200 mouth-breathers at a time on your 4-day trip.
