While not a posted requirement, it seems that from the feedback from the major airline recruiters, volunteer time is now an untold "requirement" in order for you to get the call for an interview.

Since when does wether one is or is not a volunteer have anything to do with being a safe/competent pilot and a good employee? I'm don't want to try and save the world. I just want to go to work, do my job in a safe and efficient manner and go home and not be bothered until it's time to go to work again. Why should I have to volunteer for organizations that I wouldn't volunteer for unless it would help me look good to a major?
