On a change of venue, the guy I flew with today was speaking to his pal whom had just been interviewed and has a class date.
Seems my guy with his 138 hours of time in the aircraft and no connections other than being a new hire with all the enthusiasm that entails walked in his pal's resume'.
He walked it in by camping out in the parking lot at Miramar and "accidentally" asking a women named "Sandy" from HR at 4:56 pm if she knew a women named "Sandy".
Then the ensuing pitch and the resume' for his pal.
Apparently, Sandy was flattered by this rather brusque' approach. (for SkyBolt Brusque' is a Texan term for "all hat and no cattle"). Maybe French but apparently I'm a Retard as I'm told daily.
That is a good friend.
It's a great story. Boots on the ground and friendship can still win over the evil doer's on the these damn "internets".
Welcome aboard new guy!
