Airline Interviews...
Hey,
I was just wondering during airline interviews if they ask/care about what kind of training you recieved...whether it be 141 or 61. Do they place alot of emphasis on that? I'm going to be attending a Part 61 school, do airlines give preference to 141?
Also, I'm currently in middle management at my office job, and I'm in charge of two people below me...do they look favorably on a job like this, or do they not really put to much weight on it because it's not avaition related?

What they care about in an interview.
- Honesty
- Grooming
- Attentiveness
- Attitude
- Punctuality
- Knowledge
They do not care about 61 vs 141. They probably won't care about your management position of supervising two people.

).Any leadership experience can be beneficial, but more at the major airline level than at the regionals (they can't be too picky nowdays). Also be aware that other applicants will have led people in flight operations and/or combat, so the office job won't carry a great deal of weight.

However, the additional training is looked at. My school has an airline transition course, and there are airlines that have contracts with use to hire with lower hours because we have completed transition training.
A transition program can work if pilot demand is high. But you're missing some key experience if you skip the CFI and/or night freight flying.
