I know it sucks but there are two factors at work here. As was previously said, it would be too easy to be abused. Can you imagine how many people would want to interview just for the free ticket to have a vacation in Hawaii.. even tho they're not interested in the job? Then it'd be even harder to get an interview because even more people are applying just to scam the system.

The other issue is as long as people are showing up for the interview then their system is working. Do you really think they care if you're furloughed or cant get out there when there are 20 other people that can make it? When the great pilot shortage happens and they have a hard time finding applicants, then things will change.
