Perhaps a little insight into why my comments became arrogant and obnoxious. one word, "drama". A simple question about a job fair was spun into assumptions and accusations about me that couldn't be further from the truth. About as simple as that.

I hate to say it without knowing you, but I secretly hope you just burned your bridge to Compass because I honestly don't wanna fly with someone like you.
Allow me to answer that, No, i was not given a straight answer and based on where you picked up the conversation, you chose not to follow it from my original unbiased simple question. Instead, I was answered with additional questions and assumptions like, "why don't i just call them" and "you're not going to get hired at a job fair anyway" Neither of which was addressed in my question. Now, if I seem a little irritated by the fact that such a simple question would rattle so many feelings and send all here into a frenzy of drama , then that sounds like something that needs addressed addressed on individual levels instead of taking what was a very simple direct, non attacking question and turning it into a mini soap opera. As far as sharing a cockpit, anyone who's feelings are teetering on the edge based on a simple Job fair question isn't someone I want to be sharing the skies with either. And if Compass wants to condemn me from employment because I asked a simple unassuming question then I have to believe a valuable lesson has been learned by all in this charade.. Including me.
