Airlines should only call you for a interview if you know someone that already flies there. After all there is no way you could be a good pilot and employee unless someone their knows you. People that just apply off the street are totally incompetent.

Every industry works that way. It's not what you know, it's who you know. That's why you never ever burn bridges.

It is exactly what I meant. Your level of ignorance never ceases to amaze.

Fish is difficult to follow, do you walk to school, or carry your lunch fish?

when do you get the "qualifying questions"?

I applied but there were no questions?

To the guys having their apps disappear: Sorry there is no info from HR on this, and those of us here have no access to the application web pages. My only suggestion to you is to start over if your app has vanished.

All I can say is they tell us interviews are resuming and hiring continues.

As for the "qualifying questions" issue, unless there is a change in the process it works like this: 1. Apply online. 2. If your app is chosen you get sent to an online assessment. 3. Assessment results are (A) put in pool for possible interview or (B) a thanks for playing notice.

Yes, a recommendation from within helps but is no guarantee of passing the online assessment or getting an interview. It just gets you in the take a closer look pile.

The online assessment has changed several times. Your best bet is having someone taking it recently to help by posting their opinions about it.

Has anyone taken the assessment recently? I heard it once consisted of word math problems. Is this still true?

Thanks
