His response...I guess someone in the foodchain gave him a few talking points....."well, we don't want someone who is a few years away from retirement sticking us with a "dud" for a candidate."
You gotta be kidding me?
That's the best you got?
We need to come up with a better hiring process, and that includes less HR, and more pilot input, to include pilot silver bullets, and pilot recommendations.
I'm not sure why you're so indignant about Oscar's response. The good ole boy network that brought us Friends of Fred and all the other nonsense was the result of "silver bullet" programs, nepotism, and "it's not who ya know, it's how ya blow who ya know".Originally Posted by baseball
Why don't we as pilots get a silver bullet? Let the pilot bring in and sponsor someone who we highly regard and give them 10,000 points or whatever and give them a guaranteed interview. Skip all the HR mumbo jumbo and put your name on it and march them to the front of the line?His response...I guess someone in the foodchain gave him a few talking points....."well, we don't want someone who is a few years away from retirement sticking us with a "dud" for a candidate."

Are you butthurt because Oscar is briefed a bit better than you anticipated and knows the good 'ole boy network is the path to organizational dysfunction?
HR will own the hiring process and UAL alone will be responsible for the duds. Now it's up to line captains to either mentor the ****birds and get em up to speed, or bounce 'em like a looter at a riot using probationary reports.
