Thanks, unfortunately I had gotten where I wanted to go. It lasted 2 years before the axe man came...... But it still would be nice if hiring would ramp up at some of the majors for more than a few classes here and there.
One guy said 5500 apps for 148 spots...The percentages are just not in the average guys favor without some serious connections. Same with SWA. I would have gladly tried to get a 73 type but not for the few weeks of the window being open only to hire a 100 or so out of the 10000 resumes they received. It just does not make financial sense.
Botttom line is there are many many qualified applicants...And in a different time many of us would be easy shoe ins or would have been able to pick our major. It's just the post 9/11 drought that has made it incredibly difficult for some very qualified candidates.
