But, as you say, back to the subject at hand....
IMHO, promises of flow through or preferential interviews are up there with "the check is in the mail", "I'll respect you in the morning", and "I won't c** in your mouth."
But what do I know? I am not one of aviation's golden children, and I hate hats.
That's about right. I have a lot of friends still at 9E, so I have a very vested interest in this. Anyone with any hope for a flow is just dreaming. At the very "best" will be a guaranteed interview, which, when it comes down to it, I will be ok with.
Some of the senior guys are great (one of the absolute best has never left to my knowledge- ability to party on layovers makes the top 5 easily... and in the cockpit straight forward, enjoyable and standard), but somehow never got the chance (perhaps due to never applying, you dummy)... several come to mind.
Yes, RM- if you ever tried to launch golf balls above you on the approaching airplane at the golf course in LAN, that dummy is you. Look me up on facebook.
There are several others, WW, TL, and TK among the quick recall.
