I mentioned that he could read the AIM online...for free.
I understand that flarepilot. It's maybe just not relevant to the OP, as he's European based and presumably interviewing there. Agreed, lots of good gen, but a heck of a lot is not relevant to EU operations. He's in Spain, Vueling are recruiting there on the 'bus at the moment, I'm assuming it's a European gig he's after.
As far as knowledge and handling, and as far as I'm against the low timers like the 200 hour wonders cutting teeth in a jet, well, that's a different issue. I'm just trying to give this guy what he needs (what his interviewers have TOLD him it is based on) to prep himself for success at an interview. We could bring up Buffalo under this "Knowledge...Handling" also, not just AF447. There are deficiencies in both systems, but that's not for this thread, is it?
