Actually, her firm used to offer technical too, and I believe it was her husband's specialty. I asked her which one to do and she recommended the HR if I couldn't do both. The HR will be most useful to you.

I think I understand your thought process, Sulk. The problem is that you assume they are planning an IPO sometime in the near future.
I'm in the minority who thinks that the sale / merger / IPO / whatever is a long way off. They are printing cash with the operation running as badly as it is.
BB came into RGS (for probably his last time signing up for that abuse), and told the pilots that we aren't interested in being in the top 50% of the DOT metrics or at the bottom of passenger complaints. If we are scoring that high or treating passengers too well, we're spending too much money for the desired result - maximum profit. They don't care what the passengers call your mom as long as they fork over $65 for a carry-on at the gate.
They want the operation to be just good enough to keep making money and attracting passengers who insult flight crew. If super low CASM EX-fuel (thanks in part to an employee doing the job of 1.5 employees) allows F9 to beat up on other airlines when fuel costs inevitably climb again - mission accomplished.
If a TA passed by 75/25 they obviously gave labor too much money. Their target is 50.00001% in favor. As long as there's a bunch of black ink at the bottom of the page at the end of the quarter, BB will gladly let passengers be as PO'd as they like. All the better if he can blame SwissPort, software developers, bad w/x in HNL or past management for the problems he's going to have fixed "soon".
This scheme has served ULCC management quite well for a while now. Read this, (written in 2007 after the ULCC model was put into place in 2006 at Spirit) and tell me that management cares how passengers are treated.

Obviously, the backlash lasted until the next fare war, and did zero harm to the bottom line.

Same exact stuff. Nothing will change until after the IPO and a change of leadership.

What is TDZE?
What is airport elevation?
What is the circle with cross in it on the middle of 10-9 chart?
You're at 35000 and have to cross the VOR at 10000... when do you start down?
Your GS is 480 kts... what's your decent rate when you start down?
HAT is 450 ft... calculate your VDP
Your timing to the MAP is 3:00... HAT is the 450... what's your timing to the VDP?
Brief an approach
Basic runway lighting questions
The technical stuff is super basic... don't waste your money on prep

Are you guys on drugs?
When this airline opened a second domicile, they struggled to "figure" that out. Now there is three. Lets get more? The CBA is single domicile oriented, yet they have shown no desire to actually make changes for would benefit all.
And they have obviously proven we can't handle the 58ish jets we have now. How is the "talent" at the headquarters going to handle more??
Drink the drink and trust them......

That is patently false and does not reflect the current hiring process. Our current hire rate in an interview is about 1 in 3 candidates.
