Interview a pilot
Hello, aviators!
I'm a high school student with a career project, and one of my choices is becoming a pilot! The second part of my project, after research, is to interview someone in this field. Would anyone be willing to answer questions I have regarding this career in a call? I must record it as well to showcase it in class. Questions will range from the amount of difficulty you had in training, to jobs and salary, to your favorite aircraft and memorable events. There will be about 20 questions, maybe less, but most of them don't need a lengthy answer (if you want!).
Any pilots are appreciated, but I'm mainly looking for private and commercial (airline specifically) pilots with at least one to two years of experience.
If you are available, let me know in the comments, and I can send you contact info! (I use Discord but I can make a Skype account or any other platform.)
Thank you for your time!

You could set up a question/answer format and might get more responses.

Survey monkey dot com allows you to set up a free survey.
You could put the link here on the forum.
Be specific in your question.
Did you have trouble in your training yes/no doesn’t really give you a lot of info.
With a survey type you may get many more replies.

I am not looking to receive survey answers online! I was wondering if anyone would be willing to participate in a one on one call/interrogation with me answering various questions I have.
I hope link sharing is allowed - these are my questions to those who are curious: https://pastebin.com/7CTfL5dx

You mean interview instead of interrogation.
My suggestion is because we fly all hours of the day and night and getting a time for a sit down session may be difficult.
You’ll also not get an average sample which is what you need for a “study”.
By the way: you’re asking for a lot of personal identifying information and that will make people hesitant to work with you.

Don't worry, I don't need lots of answers from various pilots; this isn't a case study. Otherwise, I would have done as you suggested earlier - use an online survey question/answer form thingy and gather information. It is but a mere "interview".
Hmm, I guess it does get a little personal. Maybe I should've made the name/age/other specific questions optional to answer. It's all for my own project, as I would like to perhaps pursue a career as a pilot.
Either way, I've found someone. Thank you for your time!

If this thread is prompting any issues or may sound suspicious, please let me know and I'll delete or close it (although I'm not sure how to do the latter.) I have found someone that is willing to participate in my interview. Let me re state that I am by no means intending to use any of the information I may be given anywhere other than my classroom project. I am a high school student looking to perhaps pursue a career in the aviation industry, and therefore currently require a sort of "interview" with someone in this field in order to complete the second part of my project.
Thank you for your patience.
