You have a bright future ahead of you.
Of course while you're whining that a prospective employer didn't update you on a job opening, most who have any sincere interest in an employer will check back frequently to see if the employer is hiring, rather than acting as though the world revolves around the candidate, and waiting for the employer to come to them.
You really should find out what a company does, if you have the remotest interest in working for them. That's just common sense.

+100 Nailed it. My sentiments almost exactly. Although you were much more reserved and polite than I think I could have been.

[Responding to the question essentially: Who is operating the Cardinals' new 777?]
True that. Jet Aviation, I believe. A General Dynamics subsidiary.
However, word was that, for next season, the Cards (and maybe their insurers, their players' insurers, etc.) wanted it on a CMI contract with a Part 121 carrier. Reliabile-ish info was that they shopped Omni and Eastern and awarded a CMI contract to Eastern. Which frankly seems insane, but some people think all doctors, lawyers and CMI carriers are the same. They're all licensed, right? So maybe the following year, after Eastern runs it for a season...
The rumor I haven't seen posted here is the one that claims that the Pats are terminating Eastern's CMI contract for their two 767 aircraft, and moving to a CMI contract with Omni. Congratulations if true. (I never understood exactly why the Pats went with Eastern, given that they already had a relationship with ATSG, in which Airborne was doing all the maintenance on the Pats aircraft for their Part 125 operator, Team 125.)

He threw a fit, and the crew explained what the reason was. They started getting lav services on the road after that.
