Perhaps it was my sheltered mil life. Either way some folks are a bit behind, and I don't think thier intent is to waste anyone's time.
Sorry, I didn't mean to come off as flaming you. But your point is what I was trying to get at. It's really not the candidate having the luxury to interview the company.

And it gets beat to death, it's good to have a target or 2 "dream" airlines to shoot for. But 1 may not call, 2 may shoot you down. Better have a 3 in case they offer an interview but an eternal pool and a 4 that may interview you and put you in class ASAP. One may like 4, or simply tread water till 1 or 2 calls. But the point remains, create as many options as possible.

Albie is a busy guy, but maybe he can update some of this when he gets a chance;
