Thanks for the reply's, but I think everyone is misunderstanding the point behind this post. Everyone has just stated "lets just do the minimum." What I'm trying to do is figure out a way to stand out during an interview. Im not saying that 121 / 135 experience and having thousands of hours isnt important, Im just saying many people are in that same boat. Let me rephrase the question. If you are interviewing with another applicant who has the same hours, and has flown the same planes, what could you have done prior to the interview in order to shine out the person?
