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.

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.

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....

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...
