Would’ve been nice to have had the info prior to interview but whatever. It’s Eagle, I worked there before so I was used to being lied to. Then 2 snowflakes grilled the Sh!t out of me on technical. It was clear I wasn’t welcomed there—even tho I’d been a captain for 5 years at old AMR Eagle. I’d have been 20 years senior to them—if not for 9-11.

But here’s the best part of the interview. When the last snowflake came to give me the “bad news”. I informed him that I already had 2 other job offers with class dates for both.



Hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha

Net result I have a much better offer with 2 other great companies and those dumbasses are still short. Nothing has changed there but the paint job.

I got the last laugh.

The metering that will matter is when the retirement wave hits in full force and even people who are too pale and too male right now start getting street hired at major airlines. Envoy will not flow itself to death.

I briefed the miss and the hold entry, popped out at mins and landed.

But really. Technical? For a seasoned captain?

My question is this

Do you guys think these idiotic questions are a realistic measure of a pilots intelligence, or a gauge of a pilots resoursefulness in getting the answers to the questions beforehand?

I don’t memorize checklists or approach plates. Why in the hell would I commit to my memory things that are readily available on a chart legend?
The other 2 job offers I have didn’t ask 1 technical question. My 10,000 plus hours of 121 exp did all the talking.

Any idiot could figure that out.
