As for charging you to apply to Airline Apps, yes they should charge. It's a business, not a charity. And they only charge if you want to apply to more than one carrier. There was a time when we had to apply to each individual carrier, at $50 per.
Nobody is twisting your arms. If you don't like the hoops you need to jump through, find another career.
Lol well that's the problem with the Internet and why I rarely post anything, but rather just observe; it's easy to think someone is flipping out... I was calm, I was just messing around since I remembered how it was when I applied anywhere or felt like you have to be a superstar to get a job and so on...
Yes I agree if you don't like the rules, don't play their game...and I'm still here, working my way up and making personal checklists, gathering records, making my life easier for the next time around. I don't whine and moan about things I can't change but I think it's okay to joke about them.
Peace!
