I would use the crash axe!!That's easy, I would take the controls when the captain says: "you've got the controls."
But seriously, we know what this is eluding to. If the captain's gonna kill you, do what you gotta do. However, the last thing you want to do is engage a tug of war on the controls. One company recommended that if it came down to that, I should whack the captain over the head with a fire extingusher, and then take control.
At this point in my life I would ask for the next question. It's a ridiculous question to begin with and I have heard 10 different answers and no one, not even Mr./Ms. Interviewer, knows what the right answer is. "CRM....lip service lip service lip service, captain's experience.....lip service lip service, lip service....I don't really know enough to say when he's wrong lip service lip service lip service...." Blah.
Glad I'm not doing an airline interview any time soon. Honestly, if the time ever came I assure you it would be justified. Then I'd look right at that H.R. hag and tell her she had 10 seconds to ask me a real question or "I'm walkin outta this beotch." followed by a raucous "Check out F.I. dot com and see how I roll, muthaf*^%er!! I'm SVCTA! AHHHHH!"
If it were me at an American Eagle interview:
I would buy a suit that looked like Napoleon Dynomites' and if they asked anything I would say that interviewing here must be a step up so you can only imagine how much I was making at my last job.
Next when the HR nerd was asking thier questions I would answer them all with "Hmmm Good Question..."
I would have my pad and pen out while they were questioning me and just doodle..Doodle away-draw airplanes, cars, people and when they get quiet I would ask them questions like if your company used Swingline staplers and they switched to the Boststitch stapler and one employee refused to turn over his/her control of the obsolete stapler because it had fewer jams and threatened to burn the building down if the company took it from them what would you do?
Then give them this scenario:
You are a passenger on the airline you are interviewing for and you are boarding when you hear a new pilot take several phone calls from creditors and he has become emotionally upset and shouts at each call telling them how much money he makes and he can't afford to pay them and survive also He shouts out that he may upgrade in 6-8 years and call him then. You mentally calculate his salary and realize that he makes less that the waitress that served you breakfast and less than half as much as the garbage man who could care less about you. The pilot slams the cockpit door and locks it and the FA is closing the cabin door-What would you do?
Another one:
The have been promoted from HR to PR for the airline. A week later there is a terrible accident and they are in front of a plithora of microphones giving a statement of the details. A smart journalist spends some time on FI prior to the interview and searched "Captains and First Officers" now the journalist asks: Is it true that you lowered your hiring minimums to intice pilots to work for you? What were the experience levels of the crew? Is it true you ask stupid questions on the interview? When will President Bush declare that americans don't want that low paying job and offer it up to undocumented migrant workers? What do you say?
