Thanks for this. I have an interview there next week. Did you get a CJO? Do they even offer CJOs at the interview?

Gearswinger

What's the answer to this question? I'm assuming the guy is still wearing pants, shirt, tie etc. are they asking about the hat?

Mr Rumbold

They seriously ask all those BS questions?
Waste of time it seems.

HighFlight

If I ever climbed into a cockpit with a person wearing nothing but a blazer, I would promptly walk out and get the chief pilot and local manager involved.

Unless she was hawt, I mean.

Sounds like a lot of questions for an airline fighting for every body they can get.

I'll throw in to keep in mind; the interview for people with 121 time is nothing like this, it's more of a meet and greet, one or two basic airmanship questions, a few what would you do questions and read a metar taf and briefed a approach, in and out in 15-20 minutes, the longest part was going over logbook and verifying information on the application and just chatting about whatnot, the CFIs that went though were in there for an hour though.

Aether487

Yes. Got the CJO. Start training in a week.
And yes, they offer CJO right there when they call you back in to discuss how you did, hand shakes and paperwork to follow before they fingerprint and drug test you before you head to your flight home.

Aether487

Ha. Sorry. Yes. I guess this could have been more descriptive instead of my hurried submission. Yes, full uniform but wearing "sweater vest" or whatever its called as oppose to coat.

Answer they wanted was talk to them about wearing the professional uniform, if they still resist then you could bring this to the union/professional standards.

greygoose

Not understanding the point here, I see pilots wear the sweater all the time. The sweater is part of the uniform and can be worn in exchange of the blazer between nov and may.
