People would flood the job fairs trying to get some face to face time with the recruiters. In my eagle days, they would send people home from interview just because you missed something in your application, or your log book had more than 10-20hr discrepancy with your AirlineApps.
Allegiant sent me a couple of TBNT letters some time after applying. Delta interview was a month studying like crazy for a 2 day process.
And lets not forget the medicals that legacy airlines would have in addition to the standard FAA required.
I know this sounds like a lot of “boomer” “get off my lawn talk” to a younger generation; but the point is, stop complaining, times are still the best they have ever been in decades.
