If he had said he really needed an MEI there, and would like for you to get that soon, it would be one thing, but to put the ATP course out there as well means he's not looking for an MEI, he's looking for someone to give him more money than he's going to pay you. Don't give him the time of day.
I'm from Houston, instructed there for a while, which school are you going to that has the Comanche?
I have been working at the Houston school since Oct. 1, 2009 and it's been going pretty well! The school is called Hi-Tech Aviation and it's at DWH. They actually don't have a commanche, it's a Piper Arrow. Since getting here in Oct i've flown almost 100 hrs. (94 currently).
Regarding the other interview, I did end up driving over to Austin to meet with him but it's exactly like everyone is saying... he put me into a Sim and had me fly a few approaches and that was IT. He didn't show me around, show me his airplanes or the airport. Nothing! I left afterwards and never looked back or called. Two days later I got offered the job at DWH and have been slowly flying more and more since. I'd love to find some on-call right seat stuff somewhere in the area but i still probably have too low of time.. only about 380 currently.
