Mattyj, I don't know but all I can tell you is that the airlines that I have been Chief Pilot in (admittedly small ones) have had only one interviewer - me. The main requirement was a satisfactory answer to two questions - 1) can the person fly, and 2) would I want to sit next to this person for 8 hours a day.

These are two questions that no HR person would ever think to ask.

I was never very interested in what a candidate could make out of a box of Lego, or how they would cross a river with three poles and some rope, or whether they could recite Handling The Big Jets. There's too much bullsh*t in aviation already. I have yet to see a pilot who could fly better because he had a degree.

Call me old-school... lol
