I'm failing to understand what your getting at. AWAC, historically, has had zero issues attracting candidates. This is because our pay and contract is very good. I'm 2nd year and make more than nearly every other regional FO will max out at. I don't say that to brag at all, but rather we've never had issues in the past because of decent wages so I am very surprised by this move. Things are a lot tougher than they are leading us to believe here that is for sure.

I am sorry to hear the interview didn't work out. I know they don't have a sim portion anymore. If you would like I can try and talk with people I know and see if I can help. PM if you would like. I've been around this forum enough to get an idea of the type of person you most likely are. You seem like one of the few level headed guys on here that is well spoken.

Interviews are a pain. It's so subjective. Maybe you were nervous (who isn't) and maybe the team were having a bad day and they decide your not what they are looking for? It's dumb.
