Interview tips:

Wear pants.

Just as importantly, leaving the impression that the interview board could spend 17 days attached at the hip and feel comfortable sleeping in the back for 6 hours with you and another pilot just off of OE in front.

Pretty much our job in a nutshell.

Being able to intelligently articulate your present job is great as well.

Good luck.

I'm not sure I understand why you're telling people to wear pants? Please don't tell me someone showed up in cargo shorts. ***?

Oceancrosser is right, apparently. I've had a good friend recommending me for years, finally got the test a few weeks ago with most of the interviewees here, got a 92, have gotten no call.

Probably involves my lack of 121 time, and the checkride failure and speeding ticket I had to divulge on my NHPS.

7500 total
2500 TPIC
a good deal of international and oceanic experience.


Congrats to all those in the process... good luck next week guys and gals!

I've never divulged tickets that don't involve intoxication,.... I never even kept track of them..

I stayed 53 days in Doral for training, in what was the Hampton Inn, I think it's changed hands.

I assumed their definition of "moving violation" was pretty standard?

Also, I have been robbed only once in my life. It was in Doral.

I believe traffic convictions was the term, unless if you contest it and go to trial, instead of just paying a fine, it's a conviction....or were intoxicated, which is a crime, who cares?
I'd hire a guy with 20 speeding tickets if he wasn't a criminal or reckless....it's just speeding....

Doral? ...bastards!

Spend the $10 and get an official driving record. Whatever it states there is what counts. Often, if there is no contest, then it is counted as a conviction since you essentially plead guilty. That's how it works in Florida. I've had a couple of "no contest" and it shows as a conviction.

Obviously it hasn't affected you, but I'd still be careful. When asked for any moving violations it's best to just disclose. A moving violation is worlds different from a DUI.
