Pilot Job Fair Tip #6,525...

Prior to my frontier interview I read loads of gouge. It's an all day event and they keep you all together. They have volunteer pilots hang out with you just to speak with and to watch us. One of the biggest pieces of gouge was "do not take out your phone while hanging out."

Morning of the interview we all pile into the lobby of HQ. There's 13 of us. They lead us in to the break room where we'll all hang out for the day. That's when one gentleman who has his iPad out asks very loudly over the group "can I get the wifi password for my iPad?" The HR lady looks at him and says "no." The rest of us all look around thinking the same thing, I'm sure, that at least one of us is already going to get a TBNT.

The end of a very tiring day finishes out and they call 11 names to follow them to another conference room. iPad guy and another candidate are not called.

We sit down in the new conference room, all hoping that this is the "welcome to the family!" speech. It wasn't. We were all thanks for our time and then led to the exit.

iPad guy received a CJO.

There is a HUGE probability that that text you're sending during the meeting isn't as important as you think it is, but the mere virtue of you doing that has a heavy impact on your first impression with an airline recruiter.

Hold on. I gotta finish sending a text.













Ok, done. Sorry, what were you saying?

Ha! Yeah, the F9 interview is super weird. They probably thought you guys were going to split at the first opportunity for a legacy, while iPad guy would stay.

There were rumors awhile back of some folks being cut loose from a legacy during training for inappropriate cell phone use during sim training... Some people are just clueless.

Sounds bad but, I would think that if they hired that guy they are looking for people that wouldn't leave or couldn't get hired elsewhere. Very bad hiring practices if that's the case (hope it's not).
