[quote=WIFlyer;487098]Times are less important then being a decent person who we can get along with on a four day trip. Yes, if you can't fly the airplane you will fail training. However, that is a small minority of people and the training department is great. Just be honest and humble, be yourself (as many others have said) don't try to impress the interviewers, relax and you will be what they are looking for. If you are a know-it-all d-bag then you will not get the call.[/quote]

Also, in the above case, if you fall through the cracks and make it to the ground school, sim, and IOE; you may be asked to leave while you're on the line. Like two in my class. Yep, various captains complained about the new hires' attitudes and they were both asked to leave within a month after completing IOE.

Also, when in the ground school, be very respectful to the Instructor: they know much more than most of us will ever know. This summer, one new hire, very young guy, was rude to the instructor; he was asked to pack up that very afternoon.

Good luck in training.
