Then why are there still a lot people applying and still not getting jobs? I get there is a need for pilots right now, but I have a hard time believing your "anyone with a pulse" type statement hold any validity.. Do I think minimum people are getting hired? Of course I do, I hope I'm one of them but it won't JUST be because of my minimums. There are a lot of people with JUST MINIMUMS as far as I've been told. Not starting an argument here, I sure couldn't win being so new to this industry and I am trying to be humble in the midst of the professionals I will be working with, BUT for christ sake thats ludicrous just to accept someone only to have minimums.. They need some common sense and people/communication skills etc.
