When I sit in a new hire class at a regional, how much of the experience is real?
I've been to two different airline interviews (hired into a pool for both) and it's been my experience that my logbook was barely looked at. Captain/HR giving the interview thumbs through it (seemingly) absent-mindedly while listening to my answers to technical questions or something. As best as i recall, I was never asked questions about my time and my logbook.
Discuss!
In the past I think that parker pen time was widely prevalent and the main way that pilots got ahead in aviation. Lately however since the regionals have been hiring people with only a handful of hours it hasn't been necessary.
I am sure that with the renewal of hard times that the pen will make a return.
