Might be too risky to hire someone that is just going to leave once the economy turns around. Lets face it, there is no shortage of pilots and the numbers are getting worse.
There hiring furloughed guys. I interviewed with 6 applicants. They sent 3 home. Two of us were 121. One with higher time and one with low time and one CFI that did an RJ transition course. The 3 that were sent home struggled in the sim. Seems like a cool place. Long day interviewing. Claudette,told us she was retiring very soon. Nice lady. The Colgan crash was mentioned quite
a few times during the interview. You don't have to be perfect,just consistant. I missed questions in the tech.
