I have a friend who likes anabolic steroids. Think he can get hired there?

Is his neck less than 17 inches in diameter? If so, I think he is in luck.

I wouldn't go as far as using the word "lazy" as I have a lot of respect for the two guys doing ALL the recruiting and interviews. However that's lots of work for two guys, I see why they don't have every interested candidate positive spaced to PHX for a "dog and pony show" like a lot of the other regionals.

What do you really learn about a guy in a 15 minute interview? Other than they can be a chameleon during the two hour interview and company presentation.

This is a good point. There are definitely people who will say "the right thing" in an interview, and once hired, go back to being themselves. Then there are the folks that undersell themselves or don't interview well and get eliminated before they even start. Sometimes you need to work with someone for awhile to even begin to see who this person really is. The reality is that this costs money.

So have any of you guys responded?

If they are using airlineapps to target, is it really unsolicited?
If there are no offers then pilots complain.
If there are offers then pilots complain.

More job offers the better, allows pilots to turn the offers down and when someone asks for an explanation they can say "Compensation...or lack thereof"

I have.
Haven't heard anything back yet.
Can't get anyone from pilot recruiting on the phone.
Spoke to an operator who said the recruiting team was busy with interviews until Monday.

Did anyone pay attention to what email address the offer was sent to? Was it an email address you provided to airlineapps or a different one? This just seems so unusual. I received an unsolicited email from Republic several weeks ago. It was not an offer, but an invitation to apply. I wondered how they had my email, then I remembered I applied to Frontier months ago. Had to have dug it from that file. This seems a little more normal than these offers.

Yes and I verified that it was correct. The recruiting manager's response was a bit concerning, given that she was concerned about a job offer without any kind of phone interview..

Back in the early '60s UAL did the same thing when guys got their Commercial ticket...automatic job offer.

I hope the FAA is watching this.
