You're hired vs. you're not

[no1pilot2000]

If you have individuals who show up on interview day at an airline and are ready to get hired for pilot positions, and only some of those people get hired. All applicants are qualified, paperwork is filled out properly, and everything is in order. What non flying qualites are the airlines looking for when hiring pilots?

Looks help too. In the case of my interview, I had to shave and brush my teeth. I didn't help my case too much, but you might have better luck.

Who knows? I have known some of the best people get turned down at places, and some turds get hired. Attitude and persistence are all that we can control.

given that you meet the mins, have a good work/training history, show up on time, paper work complete, groomed/standard suit, smile/don't say fVck or sh!t and play the good attitude game - everything else is just a crap shoot.

Some people just interview better than others. You can have a great attitude but if you rub someone the wrong way, it wont happen for you. One guy from my AWA new hire class is an ex Air Force F-117 stealth pilot, a few type ratings, clean record, nice guy. Shot down with Southwest twice, and at a corporate job..

Are you sure of his background? He might have just been trying to get you in bed by telling you that lol
