Anyone actually say during an interview that the reason they want the job was because they need money?

No? Not if you actually want the job.

Think about it this way, if you're interviewing someone for a job, it's obvious they are there for the money.

If the most creative thing they can think of to answer that question is "Money" then their critical thinking skills are pretty much zero, and further they are a liability because who knows what either dumb stuff they will say, possibly to the wrong person.

Concorde cockpit in a museum

Reply in thread

From what I've been told, the Concorde went more junior than one would think. Instead of a leisurely ~6 hour flight, followed by a layover in London or Paris, you were ripping there and back in a day for half the pay.

Still would be an awesome type rating to have though.

A camera wouldn't have prevented anything, it would only make blame slightly easier.

Maybe improved mental health resources for pilots would be more helpful.

Or maybe not having a single point of failure for something so critical. Airplane engines are made to burn for a while before they become a problem, so why can't a two engine shutdown be inhibited below a certain radar altitude, or something of that nature?

Seems like a lot of pretty easy fixes that would work preemptively, rather than just another $20 part marked up to $20,000 because it comes with a FAA part number, that can only be used to assign blame after the fact.

Let me ask everyone this, would you want a camera in your office? Or should nurses have to wear body cameras all shift just so if something happens to a patient they can make sure they can blame the correct person?
