    Still watching, very interesting so far. But man that tripod leg on the edge of the table is giving me serious anxiety lol
  • @mrrs8118
    Great interview! My SIL is a captain and line check pilot and instructor.
  • @davidcole333
    There is a lot in here that applies to all job seekers, not just pilots. Very good podcast.

    Big Ern you and Kelly : I wish i would have heard this interview 50 years ago. It would have made things a lot easier in life. I'm not saying I had a bad life but thing would have been different if i would have had some coaching from you guys. Man that pod cast was good..
  • @ritchieb1612
    Always very interesting, people with lots of background in the industry.
  • @AaronHarberg
    Great Interview, Kelly being from Beaver County near Pittsburgh is probably very familiar with the unfortunate USAir 737 disaster there in 1994.
  • @valentinecr7860
    Awesome Podcast… great information! If you are about to start your private pilot, do you recommend starting out with electronic logs and not even do paper logs?

    Did you Flown with Kelly before while your First Officer?

    nice guy! I just never got the "tell me about a time" questions at the interviews. I don't think that they're a good measure of the 3 attributes that Kelly outlined. You have to rehearse, but try to act like its a desirable outcome that they're looking for. I'm sure a team of HR psychologists have sold the method to other companies. HR can be pretty whacked....lol....just my opinion.
