I can testify to the UAL interview being pretty confrontational 25 years ago. I got hassled because I couldn’t remember the MTOW of the Piper Chieftain I had flown 10 years earlier, then the mid-twenties female FO (in full uniform, including hat) pretty much accused me of padding my logbook. I laughed at her. I think I had around 9000 hours at the time, including around 3500 in 737s.
Things like that, designed to get under your skin.
The DL interview, for comparison, was more like talking about flying with friends you just met.
Is any of this relevant today? I don’t know. But I’m old, and I like telling boring stories of how it was ‘back in my day…’ Just ask any of the poor FOs sentenced to sit next to me for 4 days.

I got an invite to interview near the end of October. I'm a mil guy, and probably overthinking things. I had a couple questions for the group about required documents to bring. I've got my ARMS folder and my Air Force flight time squared away, I'm digging for my old logbook from when I first started flying. My OPRs, Form 8s, and Form 942 are all computer print offs not "original" pen and ink documents. Is that ok? I also have searched high and low for my FCC license, and can't find it, but found on the FCC website "ULS" or whatever that I can print an "original copy". Does this count as a copy, or an original, or both? Again, I am probably over thinking, I just don't want paperwork and the ability to follow directions to be the thing that tubes my interview, I can do that on my own! Hahaha! I'm really excited about the opportunity, it's almost unreal. Thanks for any feedback.
Completely agree with advice already provided concerning your licenses.
Good luck!

The Renaissance concourse is a nice hotel, little bit longer walk and part of it doesn’t have a sidewalk. They do have a shuttle to HQ. It’s an atrium hotel where it’s all open in the middle and the bar can get loud if you’re worried about that. It’s also right next to the runway so one side can be loud from outside too.

Pilot selection includes instructions in the interview invite. Current instructions are very good and broken down for civilian as well as each service. For the AF is FHR and FHS. That’s all I brought for flight logs and was never questioned.
