Phenom 100 PIC for Executive Airshare 
After 7 years of flying bags, boxes, rats, urine, blood, Detroit diesel engines, radioactive salts, auto parts, and a 4,000 pound offshore rig drill bit, my hard work has paid off. It took18 months of applying/updating and I finally got a call to interview last week.
The interview was absolutely perfect. I had one week to prepare. The first thing I did was go to Men's Wearhouse and get some new duds. My old suit was just that, OLD! I had to look fresh. I also reviewed the AIM and ATP written several hours a day. I wrote down every single possible interview question I could think of and formulated my own genuine answers. After the initial phone interview, a friend put me in touch with his former co-pilot from Flex Jet who is currently flying for EAS. After chatting with him for over an hour I had no doubt this would be the right move for me. Having done all this, my confidence was at an all time high. During the interview I simply could not stop smiling because I was so excited to have the opportunity to interview. I was up against some very stiff competition. The other 3 candidates were all currently flying turbine equipment with comparable total times.
I just cant describe how pumped up I am!
I'm going from a 1950's Twin Commander to my first jet. In 3700 hours of flying I've never touched a jet, an autopilot, or flown this fancy stuff called glass. I'm ready for the new challenges though!
