I’ve known some great people who were rejected and parb’d. If that’s happening based on a 45 minute interview without any attempt to add color to the process by including references who have known these candidates for years or decades…we’ve got a problem. And if recs and references aren’t being used - why not just pull them off the app?
Because the apps is done through AirlineApps, which is the one that ask for references. They just can’t pull it out off the app.
