Toughest Interview Question?

[Hobit]

In an interview for a dual rated NICE corporate flight department in south FL.

"So, you were in Afghanistan...Did ya get to kill anyone?"

My thought was..'maybe, maybe not but you aren't my buddy and you don't get to ask'. I answered something about doing my duty and supporting my fellow soldiers etc blah blah...

I realized it was to see how I reacted to being knocked off balance but none the less pretty classless for that setting. I wonder what went through that VietNam vets mind when he decided to do that.

I didn't WANT the job after that.

Does it have to do with a certain person required to wear a certain oxygen mask above a certain altitude? Naw, never broken that one.

Yup....

The a-hole who used to run Continental Express' interviews, John D., picked up my resume with two fingers like it was a cat turd, looked at it, looked at me, and said, "Why the hell are you even wasting my time coming here?" Very first interview question, no joke.

Yeah, you guys sent me a space-available ticket so I could rot in the airport for 11 hours until I got the last seat on the last flight of the night to IAH, then had me take a shuttle to a hotel that was 45 minutes away from the airport (and on my own dime), and have the nerve to ask me "how my flight down was" during the interview? And I'm wasting their time?

hilarious-- i had a similar experience--- kept asking me all type of questions that were ridiculous--- flying out of victoria and you only haxe x amount of seat cards for y number of seats and y is greater than x what do u do defer the seat and leave the pax or just go? i said i'd go inside and make a copy of the seatback card and or verbally brief and if they didnt think that was legal , then yes defer the seat---- looked at me like i had two heads.

my favorite:

have u interviewed anywhere else? i was honest and said, yes i interviewed at ACA yesterday ( i was on my way back home- hows that for an interview trip) he said well if aca AND WE OFFERED u the job which would you accept? i told them ACA, dont pay for training and higher pay----- the look on their face was priceless--- hey WTF i was honest. nope didnt get the job

To fly them for a living...

But I digress. As a young invincible CFI, a night IFR trip over the mountains of WV in heavy RW in a clapped out Piper Warrior.

The last question she asked me; "If you could take anybody in the world to dinner, who would it be?" WTF?

OK, so almost 4 years later, who would you have taken to dinner at the time?

It was her and the DO in the interview. The DO was pretty quiet and didn't say much. The question caught me pretty off guard. I wanted to do the 70's disco-esque double finger snap and point. then say "you baby, pick you up around 6?"

But I went with the safest answer I could come up with, and said "my mom"

Her mouth hit the floor, the DO just laughed. She later got fired out of that job.
