This may be in the last 28 pages, or on some other website. I have no idea where I got this from, but was cleaning my old laptop off and found it. Might be of some use to anyone going to interview.

I think you forgot a few:
How long have you been in the ANG flying F16's?
How long were you a captain at Southwest?
How long were you writing the radar articles for Archie?
Which NYFD Engine were you assigned to again?

Still with the TM stuff... ok. And that is a more inclusive gouge than what is listed on the C5 profile page. Pretty accurate, except change "How do you feel about being based in Cleveland" to "How do you feel about never being able to successfully commute to SYR?"

I think there would still be a need to keep it open. However, I would love to see a Dulles base. Most guys in SYR have a very difficult 2-leg commute to deal with, where IAD would be much easier to get in and out of.
