Really guys...lets cut out the scare tactics. A couple of speeding tickets won't disqualify you. I have 2, both from 6 years ago and I was not only invited to interview but offered the job at Eagle.
After the dust settles on my end a little bit I'm going to start one big thread dealing with a couple of the common scare tactics that people throw around the forums. They are really getting annoying.
Just a teaser: Before my interview with Eagle I was losing my mind because multiple people on this forum kept saying over and over that they HATE to see whiteout in your logbooks. I kept hearing about how people were sent home because of whiteout, etc.... Thanks for adding to an already stressful situation guys..
I get to the interview with some whiteout in my logbook that goes back to my student pilot days. I had a few corrections to make on the last few pages and instead of using whiteout I created new columns at the bottom of my logbook with the correct totals.
Guess what the interviewer said to me when he saw that? "Use whiteout!" I did a double take! He said it again, "Get whiteout or greenout. It's no big deal." End....Of....Story!! Yet some people on here had me losing my mind over this whiteout situation.
That is just the beginning. There is so much more misinformation tossed around that I just can't stand it anymore. Most of it is from people who THINK they are sure of something that they have no personal experience with. That is a slippery slope. Expunged arrests is another topic.
Like I said, I will come back next week sometime and debunk some myths I have seen around here.
