Depends, SF told me she would send the info about the face to face a week after we talked on the phone. I was given 2 choices of dates. What to bring, is your logbook, 3 copies of the resume and letter of recs. All of this is mentioned in the email. Also, have some funny, good stories to share (that's appropriate). You will see why I tell you this, while each person is getting pulled out of the room for the panel interview.

NK stands for "No Kindness". It's a general corporate trickle-down philosophy for profitability.

The monkeys at the top of the tree eat the delicious ripe bananas, then drop banana peels and poo onto union employees (expired contracts), non-union employees (all outsourced at bottom wages and no benefits), and finally down onto the customers (who are shown No Kindness at all from the demotivated work force and made to feel that is what they deserve for what they paid.)

For some reason, everybody keeps fertilizing new banana trees with the discarded peels and poop, to grow more bananas for the monkeys at the top.

A few short months ago, the tallest tree in the jungle began to bend under the weight of the fattest monkeys at the very top. Alarmed at the impending danger of their precious tree collapsing, the fat monkey kings blamed the crisis on an approaching storm and devised a plan to offer some of their bananas to the pilots, if they would just support the weight of the tree and prevent it from collapsing.

The dutiful pilot monkeys, always willing to sacrifice for the benefit of their masters at the top of the tree, agreed to suspend the Law of the Jungle and collectively put all of their strength into propping the tree up.

A week later, the storm passed and the tree still stood tall in the jungle. Successful, yet fatigued, the weary monkeys looked upward for their delicious reward. Sadly, as the tree straightened back up from their toil, the bunch of ripe yellow bananas offered by the second-fattest monkey king was rescinded and raised back up above their reach.

The exhausted pilot monkeys were left without reward, as the laughter, banana peels, and ripe poo continued to rain down from the lofty perch of the monkey kings at the top of their newly reinforced perch.

The metaphor is strong with this one.
