It bugs me that there are errors in my AFORMS and I sure wish I could fix 'em -- guess I'm just anal about it. I was very annoyed to learn that they only keep your information digitally for a year or two, and anything older than that is permanently etched in the printout in your AFORMS folder. Good to know that if I point out what the "etched in stone" errors are, and how they do/do not impact any of my times, that nobody will care that much in an airline interview.
Brings me to another question...I read on one of these forums about a question in an interview along the lines of "how accurate is your logbook?" People seemed to indicate that it was somewhat of a trick question, and if you answered that your logbook was "perfect" they knew you were full of crap.
What is up with that?
I had asked a question a while back based on an interview gouge(sp?) I read. Basically, the interviewer asked "How many hours did you fake?"
I think its a 'lets see how he reacts' type question. I would say 'None. However, I may have made a mistake. If you noticed something not right I'd be happy to review / correct if warranted.' Of course, sitting at home with a beer on the computer is a lot less stressful than being at an interview...
