Assume this, and that one of the applicants in your interview group is working on the inside. With this thought it should keep you from saying anything stupid.

I know, I know. The Systems final turned out to be absolutely fine and way easier than we all feared. It's just that we all hit that moment about 8 days in, just when you think your brain can't take anymore, that they hit you with manual performance and BTMS Inop calculations on that one day, and you think "That's it, I've had it, I can't take anymore." We all had that look. Well, at least a lot of us did.

All I'm saying is, I thought the interview was easy compared to Indoc. Then Indoc seemed like a total piece of cake compared to Systems. Now in retrospect, Systems doesn't seem so bad. But still, the interview gouge is pretty easy stuff. Draw a turbine engine. Draw an electrical system. Draw a precision runway. If you can't do that you probably shouldn't be interviewing

Really? I walked in there with my gel-spiked hair, my Doc Martens on, and the first thing I said was "Dude those shiny RJs are SIIIIICK! Where's my upgrade?!?"

If my company is in CASS, but doesn't have a agreement with Skywest, what are my chances of catching a ride? Are crews pretty good about getting guys on?

Depends on your drawing skillz, a system in the CRJ will be selected at random.

Depends. It's actually easier to get a ride with an agreement but no CASS...it's legit for the CA to allow to take a cabin seat if you have an agreement, even without CASS.

But technically if you don't have an agreement, that's non-rev fraud, ie giving away free travel to someone not eligible. Depends on the CA as to whether he wants to hang his job on the line.

If the gate just clears you, based on CASS, the CA has some plausible deniability....we don't have our recip agreements memorized so I would probably just assume good-to-go. But if the gate isn't sure and asks the CA then he has to make the call.

I seriously doubt skywest does this, certainly not to my knowledge, however it has been done in the past elsewhere...one AAirline was legendary for these sorts of antics.

But I would certainly be on your best behavior at all times during the process.

Pretty sure after they fired a chick for giving a ramper a BJ in the commo cage after being caught on a hidden camera and said chick sued the company and as a result got promoted they don't use hidden anything anymore.

Or maybe they do. You never know.

Another dumb ? but what about the electrical system diagram for the interview. For instance the last most complicated aircraft I flew was a PA34 seneca. The diagrams in the POH are about 2 pages worth.. so were supposed to draw all this out including each switch relay etc position?
