If it's not, then they just castrated the pilot corps's ability to recommend anyone. "Once every decade, you can throw a name in the hat if you makes you feel better. And by hat, we mean that circular filing bin over in the corner next to the recycle container."
This whole thing is ridiculous! The airline industry is hiring at a record rate and a "silver bullet" recommendation holds very little if any weight in deciding who the company will interview in the near future.
Those I've been recommending for years now have a great job and one even told me not to waste my "bullet". I'm glad they are flushing the old system down the drain. The fact is, people will apply as usual but their not going to wait around and they would be foolish to do so! So what's the point? Does it make the pilot group feel better having a pseudo say in who we hire? Instead of "silver bullet", we should call it powerball.
