I can well see why they want to ask him questions given what he writes in his profile - which is usually exaggerated IMHO since the profile is often used to get the next job. Regarding your comment on combat ops, instructor pilots do fly into hostile territory. Compare the following from another C-17 instuctor pilot's resume:
"Train and prepare more than 100 personnel in conducting airlift and aerial delivery under hostile threat. Unit subject matter expert on weapon system employment and primary project officer for joint and multilateral exercises. Pilot in command of C-17 aircraft and 5-person crew on worldwide cargo and passengers airlift missions. Conduct ground and flight instruction in Crew Resource Management, International Civil Aviation Organization procedures, aeromedical evacuation, aerial refueling, combat tactics, standard and emergency procedures."
