There ARE pilots out there who DID do that and for a multitude of reasons may not have started or completed new-hire training. Some carriers furloughed before one could start class, you know....and in some cases complete it. The goals and concepts of the personal (personality) portion of interviewing haven't changed much in 30 years. We used plenty of TMAAT type questions back then too. The technical portion of airline pilot interviewing is simple demonstration of competency in your field and that's a universal application, just different for any given field. As for why I left that job (in my 20's)..........ahh, gee dude........they had no airplanes. We all know plenty of characters who demonstrate themselves to be someone we wouldn't want to work with and to me, you seem to be a perfect example of the fallibility of the interview process (and it IS fallible, you know). I can only wonder what technique you used to fool US Airways in your new-hire job interview.


Anyhow, I thought you had more credibility when you called me a "little maggot" and implied that I didn't deserve my job.....certainly no less. A few others saw at least SOME merit in the issues I simply pointed out (which were neutral and attacked no individual or group). It's too bad a few of the usual Usapian suspects had to crawl out from under their rocks and turn that neutrality into yet another excuse to begin their next siege.

How sad. Predictable, yet still sad. It's as if you guys don't know how NOT to attack.

Not a good idea, not a good idea at all!
If you are anything other than reliable, standard and compliant you will be tossed in your first year.
