Can't say the same about some of the pilots picked up by two of the big 3. But hey, experience be damned if you gotta hit those quotas.
Amen. In my recent interview at an ACMI, they actually complimented me on how much time I had and how long I'd been in the left seat. It was actually a GOOD thing to them. They WANTED me to come there and I wasn't a burden on them for showing up for the interview.
I wasn't on trial like I was at UA. They made me feel guilty that I only had one or two volunteer items on my resume. I guess having a family and having min days off just isn't enough for the 25 year old HR folks. They kept asking why I haven't been to any of their job fairs. Ya know, the "special interest" fairs.
It's pathetic, actually.
