Answer 2

I see you are preparing for a pilot interview. If you actually have one, good for you. No small feat in the current climate.

May I suggest  that you should not only be able to, but should also be prepared to give honest answers to any and all questions based on who you are and your thoughts and experience.

Should you rely on the words an experiences of others, any pilot recruiter worth his salt will see straight through you and you will not be hired.
