Its been a lot longer than that.

Seems like a DL pilot would know that. Seems fishy...



J/K anyway I can't throw the BS flag on the field unless I can at least think of a motivation for that poster to mislead, and I can't think of any. The airline selection/interview/hiring process is one of the most convoluted so its reasonable for there to be confusion over what's involved, even for someone who has done some amount of legwork so far.

Heck sometimes people get tripped up during the interview that they prepared for. The perfect TMAAT story goes missing from the hard drive and a much less compelling and only partially relevant story comes to mind so that's what they go with. We all have a lot of perfect stories for every scenario, but sometimes they don't come to mind in the 3 seconds of dead air that's acceptable between the ask and the answer. Sometimes its the "good cop bad cop" press to test that every candidate at every interview for every airline should expect that trips a breaker.

Add to the mix an applicant that is applying to many airlines at the same time, and its actually very reasonable to not know one detail about one of them IMO.
