The only thing our interview "experts" should be examining is someone's qualifications. The higher qualified persons should be getting the job. No one is blaming applicants who don't look/or act like you. We are blaming the dumb nuts idiots who are going out of their way to hire lower or inferiorly qualified applicants.

Why bother building a resume, or gaining experience? Just doesn't matter anymore to do it "right." We need pilots hiring pilots. It's really pretty simple. Pilots can examine qualifications and talk pilot stuff and scratch and sniff the applicant to see what the personality is like.

Blame goes to UAL for this screwed up and HR focused exercise in silliness we call a hiring process.
