Negan.

I speak both British English and American English, but not Double Dutch English.
Maybe something was ‘lost in translation’.
You take everything I say far too literally.
I’ve told you this before, that when I said MY airline.
I was referring to the company I’m proud to work for.
Just like I refer to MY wife, as someone I’m equally proud of.
And MY three children.
None of which I own.

I am NOT a recruiter for any airline.

Chris McQueen.
Speeding tickets.
My interview went like this.
“Any accidents or violations?” No.
“Any arrests or convictions?” No
“What, not even a speeding ticket?” No.
My friend rattled off a whole laundry list of moving violations in a Porsche 911 Turbo, that the interviewer was most impressed he owned.
We both got hired.
Just tell them that with a last name of McQueen, it’s in your DNA. KACHOW!!!

You may have to own up to what exactly a Prowling charge is.
I don’t know.
If it’s driving a Plymouth Prowler I completely understand.
Solicitation, not so much.
Sound more like an arsehole cop to me.

But airline interviewers are not looking for such stupid irrelevant details.
They are looking to see if you would be a good mix with the company culture.

I can’t see US regional airlines being picky these days.
They are looking for serious criminal behavior that would prevent you from holding a ATP.
Every flight school has an accociation with a regional airline.
With the required hours, you could get ten jobs in a week.
I wouldn’t put any weight as to where to train on just this.
Go where ever you feel works best for you.

The majors can afford to be more choosy.
Just tell them you were a teenager messing around with cars.
What they are looking for is theft, violence and substance abuse.

And the legacy’s even more so.
To include anti social behavior and today’s buzz word #metoo.
They monitor your social media, so mind what you say, do and post.

But don’t talk yourself out of anything you want to do.
