Why should we hire you?

Have never read that book.

Have safely flown DTW-MCO.

Am dangerous.

I'd put my Mom (I don't have, and do not want, kids, which makes the traditional test irrelevant) on your airplane anytime.

Taxiway D is known as "this is the only airport in the world where people apparently don't pay enough attention to differentiate between an aircraft callsign and a control instruction or clearance limit."

Show me on this doll where Delta hurt you....

I’m fairly certain that Pat has a good idea of hours vs. experience. Just sayin.

I literally work with a guy who was Jacque Cousteau's personal pilot briefly in the 80's, he's done the most badass things in airplanes and he's also the least sure of his experience. It's crazy.

6,000hrs isn't "a lot" even if you may have good experience...

Why should we hire you?



"Charles Lindbergh got nothin on me"

"Unlike Amelia, I actually know where I am going"

"Pro Standards doesn't have me on speed dial."

"Pilots want to be like me, flight attendants love me, crew scheduling wants to screw me"

Honestly when I was asked this question I gave the answer virtually no one gives. I said “because I believe I am a good pilot.” I then went on to briefly summarize what I felt were my strengths as a pilot, as an employee, and as an addition to their company. It was asked at the end of the interview so I touched on a few things that were brought up earlier in the conversation. It was an excellent chance for me to summarize, highlight, and refine/reword my strengths on my own terms to round out the interview. The answer went over well I felt.
