Sounds to me like their HR made the right call...
So you mean to tell me that, out of 800 applications, there is not 799 other guys that had a checkride failure, accident/incident/warning letter, line check failure, problem in training, e.g. something that could potentially be on their record? Unless they are planning on hiring about 5 guys, i would say it's EXTREMELY unlikely.
I have been flying for 10 years, and have not met ONE PERSON who holds a commercial cert. that does not have something on their record.
Mason, it would be gratifying to know that we all lived in a perfect world, but in aviation, it just doesnt happen. I read a statistic somewhere that everytime you fly, you are breaking a MINIMUM of 32 different FAR's.
Just think about that for a sec.
