It makes me wonder how the definition of competitiveness is determined. Let's think about it. Almost everyone who goes for an interview is qualified from a technical standpoint. We have been through enough "flying" life experiences to be trained to fly for jetBlue (or so I would hope). But in the end, I have to wonder if "competitive" is the sum of the scores received during the interview, the background check, etc. In other words, is there a system by which they rank the prospective applicants...metrics that we may or may not consider. That score, a culmination of various data points, is the gatekeeper.

In the end, they hold the cards, and they determine who joins their family and represents them. Some things will always remain a mystery I suppose.
