Is there a disconnect between those doing the invites and those doing the hiring?
Let’s face it the 737 is a light twin with a bunch of STCs as it has evolved to it’s current iteration... the MAX. Systems are extremely basic in design... thus not requiring a degree in aircraft engineering. Flying the jet doesn’t require one to be a graduate of the US Air Force Academy either. The CP/DO may deem the applicant trainable based, on their past experience. The training foot print is, as a general rule, the same for those who are and those who are not typed on the aircraft. The check ride profile is also the same. The only difference is an APD or FAA is required for the rate ride.
