[QUOTE=Zapata;942870]: Besides, getting to know someone to for an internal recommendation is not "prostituting" oneself. In case you haven't noticed the real world, many new-hires get hired this way.
Washing someone's car, mowing his lawn and serving him margaritas is getting to know someone? Stupid me I've been paying my gardener, seems he just wanted to be friends. My comment was tongue-in-cheek, however, getting to know someone for the sole purpose of a job recommendation is called '@ss kissing.' There once was a day when qualifications mattered, but call me old fashioned. |

That's funny. Because, it was blaringly OBVIOUS that the car washing, lawn mowing and margarita making comments were tongue-in-cheek too. Yet you chose hypocrisy. I was at World in a past life and I will attest that qualifications definitely mattered. Otherwise, if one somehow made it through the interview, the unqualified would get washed out in training.

Why stop there? We all like a good [deleted] job. Have some self respect. If you're qualified you'll get the call. Prostituting ourselves is the problem with this industry.

Man I got torched on that!!!! Actually, I would probably get to know the guy, meet his family, invite them over to the ranch for a BBQ. Of course, that would depend on how much credit I have on my Food Stamps account. 3 Holer, please do not lecture me on the in's & out's of this industry. Truth be known, I have more time over the OM that you have in your logbook. (OM means Outer Marker; a funny little noise starts beeping and a little light starts flashing) Now a little Boeing humor: the B727-100 is a three holer, and the -200 is a four holer. Know why??? Incindentally, you seem very angry about something. (TOS Deleted)
