I blame SWA for continuing to use a terrible product for so many years rather than take it in house or find a better one. How long did they say they knew about the “matching email” and apply on the SWA website and the Pilot credentials. Every. Time.

AA and FedEx also used Pilot Credentials. Jesus, some of you will find any reason to **** on this place. We do have a in house app now, and we didn’t cause the data breach.

I’m not **** on this place. They just have said over and over and over again over the last several years they know it is an issue with the multiple logins/job listings etc. Yet they stuck with it.

Actually the amount of information required to be entered by the applicants is insane, it’s a potential hackers/scammers wet dream to come
over all that…

The last time we did an "in house" improvement was getting rid of CrewZ and getting CrewHub. How has that worked out for you?
Can't blame SWA for the hack.

The 2 apps was ridiculous. But the that had nothing to do with the data leak.
