That was actually the case as far as interviews went at UAL back in the 90's...talked to a lot of guys who sent in their $75 and never heard anything back from HR. With the number of applicants they had back then, I'm sure that financed one or two future golden parachutes for some of their executives.

This whole pool thing is wrong, IMO. We had an Air Wisconsin guy on our js out of PHL the other nite who has been in the pool for a year now, waiting patiently for a class date. If you make the cut and get hired into a pool, I think it should be a fifo deal so you have some semblance of a time line when you can start. It's a degrading process as is and does nothing to build any kind of company support while they continue to fill classes with people who got interviewed after you did.
