Yep.
I can’t imagine someone is cheaping out over this. I never cease to be amazed at how strange some pilots are. 100 bucks for a medical. 300 bucks for interview prep. 60 bucks for shoes. Too much? Damn. People spend more than that on just the examiner fee for a private pilot check ride. Quit being a cheap ass! |

U got off cheap. I bought an entire new uniform. (No ****. They wanted to see you in a current uniform-and word on the street was that it should be new.) I didn’t skimp on interview prep as well. I know I’m a sparkling conversationalist, but these interviews ain’t exactly small talk. So it’s best to work at being ready for a whole bunch of odd questions-preparing for those was a task. Success is where preparation meets opportunity. No place is that more true than a legacy airline interview. |

I just wore my regular uniform. Why did you think it had to be new? I didn't know anyone who paid for prep for Airways, and all told I knew a dozen guys hired there personally from my regional.
I rode the van back to the airport with a guy who didn’t do prep. He didn’t make it. You only get a couple of these chances (at best.) I know a LOT of great folks who are well qualified and can’t get a sniff from any legacy. Luck has something to do with it. My app was in for 4 years and I kept getting crickets, and then one day I got a call out of the blue. I sure wasn’t going to waste it. |
