Worst interview experience

[airmonkey]

Anyone have an interview horror story? Perhaps that airport meal disagreed with you and you sharted walking into the interview room. Did they pull up your Myspace page and ask you about the drunken picture with the underage girl and your membership in the "Bird Rock Bandits"? Anyone find out the event was canexed while you were enroute or even worse hosed up your entire travel arraignments? Ive heard of sponsoring airlines losing interviewers luggage and sending them home. Or the interviewer just didn't seem to like you one bit and the entire process felt like a scene from The 300 and you were the Spartans. Anything like this ever happen to anyone?

Does getting hired count?

I remember talking to another pilot when I was interviewing at Comair. He flew night cargo into PHX and was telling me about how he would turn off the radio because he got tired of listening to all the chatter. He would turn it on at various points when he knew ATC would be calling. He also didn't like flying with others, liked doing it his way better. I would've loved to have been a fly on the wall at that interview.

Other than that, ACA was my worst experience. Nothing crazy, but they were very condescending to us during the interview. Three of us would interview at a time, and they would pit us against each other if someone was unsure of their answer to a technical question.

The only time they were nice to me was after I turned down my class date. Suddenly they wanted to sweet talk me into staying. Shame, back then it seemed like a great place to work.

No pilots showed to interview us at mesa and the pilot hiring coordinator was almost in tears because no one would interview.... And it only got worse once i got hired...

That should have been your first clue.

i interviewed at airnet to practice interviewing, i turned them down in the interview, and then asked how much longer untill my flight leaves for home. they did not like me after that i am thinking.
