But with 10,000+ applications on file I guess they can, and are, very picky.
Kinda makes you want to give up, don't it? And they worry about a pilot shortage... yeah..
Since when do you have to be a member of MENSA to be a pilot? What about "Have you ever failed a checkride" or "How many type ratings do you hold" as a better way to assess this skill and competency of a potential pilot??
