He was also blatantly and 100% wrong on a question he asked me about getting vectored off a SID (I verified by reading the FAA 7110 and asking controller friends). When asked to debrief he even doubled down on the fact that I was wrong. I don’t blame him for not getting hired, because I should not have told the story I did. The second time I interviewed I told the most conservative and boring stories possible. And it worked.
