I don't want job offer from a company with a HR rep saying `Is there anything you would like to say now, we are gonna do background checks anyway, before we come with a job offer.`. How to answer this question: yes or no? Which one of these answers could be a satifying answer?
How the hell could you say their filter is adversely affected? They are trying to weed out incompetence and potential personality conflicts. Trying to emphasize a culture of safety and responsibility is a pretty great metric for a hiring department. THEIR perspective isn't the issue...
As a relatively new pilot at Atlas, and with several friends behind me, I can say that I have not heard anyone portray the HR interview as anything other than a professional conversation. If the are asking "are you sure" or referencing a background check I would think that you already raised their red flags either with your personality or previous answers.
Good luck elsewhere
