Pretty sure "lack of humor" is a disqualifying trait, or at least it should be.

That Implies the original comment was funny.

We should be upset that they have a personality test and a video interview in the first place. If our hiring team needs a personality test, then maybe we need better interviewers. We all know a lot of good people-good pilots who didn’t pass the Hogan.

Good luck.
Too bad they didn't exclude enraged snowflakes.

So is this something all applicants with a current app need to fill out or sign up for now?

If you care to remove yourself from the red/blue debate, this is actually hilarious:

the unintentional irony in McNugent calling people out for outrage culture and hyperbolic claims of marginalization, while sub-textually claiming to be discriminated and marginalized as a white dude...

We deserve our cable news punditocracy

Ummmm.... No.

I just want them to evaluate me based on my skills/experience/proficiency/etc.

Not on how black, female, or gay I am.

Reserving judgement until more details are released... but hoping it somehow helps me join the team.

It’s hard to come off as sanctimonious when you take a U-turn like this.
