Nah...it would be insane to expect people to remember numbers from planes not flown in years.say again said:I would hire you out of fear!!!!! I agree , but I don't remember speeds from 1 year ago. OUCH!!!! I'm losing more brain cells than previously thought.
At my Mesaba interview, the assistant chief pilot from Detroit just kept flipping through my log book back and forth. Then his cell phone would ring and he'd chat with somebody for a few minutes. When that was done, he'd flip through the log book some more. This went on for at least 10 minutes and I almost think it was test to see if I'd pick that big Jeppesen book up and hit him with it...but I didn't. I thought about it though.
If I would have known his cell phone number, I would have called him one of the times he had stood up and was looking outside the big windows. I can see it now...he's on his phone, "yadda yadda yadda" bleep bleep "yadda yadda...gotta go, got another incoming call, bye!" click, "Hello, this is Assistant Chief Dinkmyer, how can I help you?"
"Dude, you can quit pacing with that cell phone and give me my log book back..."
I had about 1,700 multi 135 in six different types...what was there anything to ask about at the interview...If the check ride forms were forgeries?
Your employment with previous operators should have been verified before you got to an interview...asking questions about gross weights and v-speeds from half a decade ago, might be an indication that they don't believe your previous employer or they don't believe your log book. In which case, you are on the way out the door anyway...
