While true, treat any M&G as if it is all these things. Suit, logbook summary, resume, cover letter and above all else game face and interview mindset.

Agree fully. I just didn't want there to be confusion that a M&G IS an interview. Mine really wasn't even like talking to a recruiter at a job fair as far as a rapid fire Q&A. Much more relaxed, and a "get to know you" feel. As well as for the CP to get to talk to 1 of his thousands of pilots in the domicile.

And when I did mine, he wanted JUST a résumé.

Points taken on all.

I recommend pilots hire a interview consulting group now... don't wait till you get the interview.... you want a deep down polish that will shine... not a last minute surface wipe down....

I did the M&G just before christmas last year. Met with IAH chief.

Sat down with me and my sponsor (my padre). Asked about our family, my experience at the regionals, my future as a guard pilot/UAL pilot together, etc. I wore a suit, I asked questions about the future of UAL. I had fun with it and he put me at ease. He also answered a lot of questions that had to do with hiring process.

UAL pilots (I think) get one sponsor a year.. someone correct me if I am wrong.

Airlineapps rec showed up the same week.

Did mine in Feb, was told they just get ONE.

Told a few CPs... if you want to hire 60/month (when you get your Guppy Capt training choke figured out) you've got to interview 80+/month... I got a few guys... but you want to wait till next year for me to help you?

Stay classy UCH....

This jives with my buddy walking me into hi CPO. Said they get one silver bullet.

Is this (the M&G) a traditional step in the process? Seems like something that will go away as the demand/supply balance shifts in favor of the job seeker...
