I didn't take notes but I don't think that would be a problem at all. They basically tell you to make yourself comfortable, ask questions, this is your time to get all the info you want.

We did not get a copy of the presentation. I didn't take notes either. I was planning to, and did, accept the job if offered so .... what use are notes....:-D
However, they were very open to questions and giving as much information as anyone needed. Taking notes would convey your seriousness and not detract in any way...

I don't think I've ever been in an interview, aviation or otherwise, where I haven't been asked if I had questions at some point.

Maybe - but the ultimate goal should be finding the right fit for you as you enter an industry that dies a thousand deaths every year, and you are on the pointy end all the time.

Most jet lines seem fairly commutable. There are only a handful of lines that have early show times. Very few trips have late finishes that would leave you stuck in PHL. What remains to be seen is how lines will look once the AA schedule bulks back up in March.
