Disagree. I have over 8k hours, 5k+ TPIC, my logbook was not all that well tabulated when I interviewed 2 years ago, and I definitely think it was not good. You need ALL three groups (LOI, Interview and logbook review) to recommend to board. If ANY of the 3 give thumbs down, you are pretty much toast. So tidy up your logbook, pay attention, neat, and make sure everything adds up correctly.

This is not true. You need 2 out of the 3 to get to the board. Now if you go in and outright lie on the part that you did not do well in, then yes you are toast. For example you can do well on the Logbook, and HR, but maybe bomb the LOI and you will still get the green light to go to the background check. Now you might be on the fence as someone they might hire, and need some good background letter to help you get the yes. But it is not a death penalty if you bomb one part of the interview, but knock the other two parts out of the park.

Rocky should tell you for sure what day your DB will meet. Good luck on the interview! Stay relaxed and enjoy the day. It’s an experience you’ll always remember.

On your other question about the interview DB, your DB will be about 2 weeks from the week you interview. It is usually on a Wed, you will not make the DB on March 22nd if you are interviewing on March 20th. They want to get all your background info done, ie call references, check to make sure your work history is correct, etc. before your board meets. So i would expect your DB to meet around April 4th, but they will actually let you know at the interview when you DB is meeting. Good luck on the interview.

You would be surprised, I have a friend that does logbook interviews for SWA, and I have heard the stories about pilots coming not prepared for this part of the interview. This part of the interview they actually have a sheet that they have to fill out. So if you don't have that info for them, or cant find it then it will not be a part of the interview that goes to well for the interviewee. If you prepare properly ( I suggest using aviationinterviews.com, they have all the gouges on what to expect) then this should be a softball part of the interview.
