Because even in this industry, common sense easily flies right out the window and politics reigns. I interviewed with eagle last year for about 8 solid hours one day. Started with 7 applicants. By the end of a long day of sims, evals, tests, interviews, I was the last one left. 3 were offered positions including me. The entire interview team approached me, shook my hand and gleamed with excitement for me to accept the job. I accepted and was told I could expect a confirmation phone call or email soon. 3 weeks later I received certified mail saying, " we apologize but you have not successfully completed the pilot selection process". Ok, what? It was only until an old friend, 12-year 121 veteran told me about the "captain's review board" and the willy-nilly method of app selection used for final selection. Its equal to eeny-meeny miney-mo totally random selection.
Now they're down to 100 resumes? If they want to blow off tons of great applicants due to politics or what ever, then it serves them right.
