And impress upon him/her that, really, the commercial certificate in-and-of-itself is probably one of the most useless certificates he or she will ever earn. It only becomes usefull once you add 1,000 hours of flight time, or a CFI certificate, or a type rating or some combination thereof. It's basically the entrance fee to the commercial world but once you're in the park you still have to wait in line for the rides.

I couldn't find that in the PTS.
My favorite questions are senerio questions dealing with airworthiness and common cariage.
1. Your a newly minted commerical pilot. Someone wants you to fly their Cessna 180 from Tulsa to Phoenix for an annual. What will you need to fly the trip.
1a. Turns out the aircraft is out of annual. What will you do now?
2. Your boss buys a Lear 35 for you to fly him around in. What part (91/121/125/135) should you operate under. What additional training will you need to act as PIC? To act as SIC? What happens when your boss's buddies friend breaks down and the boss wants you to fly his buddy around, what part can you operate under? What if your boss wants to impress clients and needs you to fly them somewhere, what part do you operate under?
