Huh no kidding... my bad.

My sentiment towards arrogant 141 types that don't even realize the limitations of their training environment still applies, however. I'm really not a super-aviator type... part 61, part 141, wet commercial multi, I'm not the sort to rant on any of this. I just have a problem with the 'no interview' thing.

The justification that you can weed the bad apples out after the fact doesn't hold up in the real world environment of unions, lawyers, and professional courtesy. It takes a mountain of paperwork to get rid of anyone. Know what is a lot easier? An interviewer saying "wow that dude creeps me out" or "wow he sure thinks highly of himself."
