HIRING PROCESS
We often receive questions on the hiring process, so here is a glimpse at how it works. To start, ap-plicants submit their application and resume online. After the hiring window closes, my office, in conjunction with, the HR Department carefully review all submissions. By the way, this past applica-tion window we had over 2,000 submissions. The applicants’ resumes are further evaluated and ranked according to qualifications, experience, and letters of recommendation and selected appli-cants are invited to start the interview process. The first interview typically consists of two pilots and one HR representative. Those meeting our high standards will then continue on to a second inter-view with a management representative and a member of the HR team. I sincerely appreciate your letters of recommendation, phone calls, and visits. The goal is to hire not only highly qualified pilots, but pilots who will be a good fit for our company.
None of the guys I've recommended have heard a peep yet.
