Not setting a great precedence.
It’s supply and demand. Pre-COVID, you could do that because the companies were begging for you to work there. Now you (we) are the ones begging. With literally thousands of other (more) qualified applicants, it’s best not to sound Ike you’re interviewing them.

One should be thankful to have a job. But one should not sacrifice the gains of the last decade for the sake of that job.

Yea it’s pretty ridiculous. Those college kids paid all that cash at least they get a free RJ poster to put up and keychains.

With college recruiting events you are looking at recruiting new hires 2 - 5 years down the road when you take into account time building. So I guess they are still being optimistic that hiring will begin in that time frame. I am not that optimistic especially considering the disheartening news from the Big 4 about future bookings. We won't see hiring like we saw last year until sometime in the 2nd half of this decade.

Make sure to ask the Endeavor recruiters about the less than coin flip odds of success on the DGI. Make your best impression as if you were being interviewed, but don't be afraid to professionally ask tough questions. This is YOUR career. When we do start hiring again, pick a regional you won't mind being stuck at.

just remember the companies that rejected working with their pilot groups and furloughed pilots because they were trying to take advantage of a once in a lifetime (hopefully) catastrophe when you make your eventual employment decision. Good luck to you.

Asking tough questions of an airline recruiter is like asking for help solving a problem at the DMV. You'll get a smirk, followed by a blank stare, followed by some made up shtuff that isn't really an answer.

You’re a job applicant, not a stock analysr
This is quite true. Recruiters know rumors similar to most line pilots. They can’t (shouldn’t) convey unsubstantiated rumors to recruits. They don’t know what moves management is doing anymore than anyone else. Although Envoy has done a nice job of selling a surreal flow time.
