Yes, when they contacted me and asked to see my resume and app for help on what they could do to improve theirs, I sent it to them and offered to help critique their resume and app based on what I'd learned in paid resume/app review with more than one prep company.
How egotistical, right? Damn f-teen kernel being helpful and all to fellow pilots, what an a-hole.
And, oh, BTW, I was surprised to read a bunch of stuff on their apps that I didn't know they'd done...good and bad. Weird.

Good for you? Not sure what this sarcastic self-deprecation has to do with this discussion, but your story sounds like hundreds of other pilots' professional journeys. If you're trying to wang-measure who's had the hardest road in their airline career, sure, you win that argument I never made, but not sure what it has to do with either point in this discussion.
