I don't fully agree with the “it’s yours to lose if you get to the interview" idea. You are talking to a bunch of us who DID get hired. It's easy for us to look back and think, "yep, it worked out for me, it'll work for you if you do the same stuff I did." I do think if they spend the time and money to bring you in for an interview they want to hire you, BUT I think they also expect to not hire at least some people, otherwise why interview at all?

I know quite a few people who didn't get hired (or were hired on their second go, myself included), and it wasn't for lack of prep or taking the interview seriously. Sometimes you have a bad day, sometimes you don't gel with the interviewers, etc. Yes, some people have a bad attitude or don't prep but I think that's a small percentage of those not hired.

At the end of the day a multi-million dollar career is riding on the interview (no pressure), so unless you are the coolest dude out there you are going to be nervous, and rightly so. It's how you manage that stress that's important. Hopefully you use it to keep you sharp and prep'ing.

Link up with the other pilots in your interview group, have dinner the might before, walk over as a group in the morning, etc. Good luck!
