Now get off my lawn.

Maybe you can get your mom to call and ask why you didn’t get hired. Spoiler, that’s actually happened. Not cool.

Interviewer told me in the logbook review someone was claiming DHD’s as flights flown. When questioned, he called LogTen and demanded to have his logbook fixed ASAP because he was interviewing at his dream job and they were messing it up.

Another guy put his feet up on the table and asked the interviewers why he should bother coming here when everyone else had better pay, upgrades, etc.

Neither got hired.

I heard about this guy from a bud on the interview team. Yep, this is the result of people believing everything they see on the internet.

And calling Proximity a boomer?? He ain't living that one down... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just telling you what I was told when I asked them about quality of applicants. Interviewers stay at the same hotels as Upgrades so we saw them every day after they interviewed people.

Was another guy who showed up without a suit because we lost his luggage. Stuck out like a sore thumb but had a great attitude and was hired if I remember right. Years ago I head about a guy showing up in Bermuda shorts like in the Nuts book…heard he wasn’t hired.

Besides the feet up, it's a valid question.
