Here's a data point...had one interview to the line (not a client, btw...) that they turned down.

Personally, I think its miserable way to do business. How much help can I expect from a tech pilot or sim instructor who does the job for 3 years, teaches the pilots during upgrade courses, then gets told "thanks but no thanks...now get back to work..." I would hate to be the next guy to do a training event with that guy.

Two points. First---if you take the job, know what it is, and what it is not. What it is NOT is a guarantee to the line. Second--if you get a shot at the line, I'd advise you to do some professional interview prep...if not with us with somebody.

But for the record--its a ****ty way to treat people. I don't like it.
