[TxPilot0878]

Just wondering what questions have come along that left you "stumped" or stammering....?

Tex

 

[Golden Falcon]

"Why do you want to work for us???" An invitation for a speel of bull********************e for sure...

 

[TxPilot0878]

Thinking about it yeah thats one that so many times you respond to as your removing your foot....I have found myself less than happy after the interview for this one!

"You have an apple and an orange, tell me 10 things you can do with them."

Number one, immediately came to mind ....

 

[Dumb Pilot]

So when can you start?

From one of those places that you go to practice your interview techniques

 

[SWAlifter]

"Tell us a joke"

(Kinda hard to think of a clean one right away!)

 

[ec130e]

"What are some of the things that you did not like about your previous job?"

 

[Sig]

"You have an apple and an orange, tell me 10 things you can do with them."

I can compare them to each other!

 

[hagen]

How does it make you feel knowing I hold your destiny in my hands?

 

[MED]

What are your weaknesses?

 

[Paul R. Smith]

Passengers are not always plesed with our efforts. Tell us about a time a passenger confronted you and said that he/she was displeased with your efforts. How did you handle the situation?

And the most technical..

Explain to me why critical mach and indicated stall speed converge at high altitudes.

I spent about 2 minutes saying the word "density" about 10 times it seemed. ...Caught me off guard needless to say.

Flame away.

[Paul R. Smith]

How do you plan on affording this?

Easy ...Its none of your business. Thats between me and my wife and the financial planner I wish I had.imp:
