Don’t disagree with one word of that, Rickair777.. My point being there will always be those trying to get in when industry hiring is booming because it looks like a glamourous gig. Second, the days when the eligible pool was somewhat artificially restrained are gone. At one time, being white, ex-mil, age 32 and under, astronaut medically qualified created a limited pool and even then there was plenty of applicants and carriers were picky.
