They use the "situational interview" to judge talent.
Tell me about a time.....No, not in junior high. Now, tell me about a time...No, not in high school. Now, seriously tell me about a time....No, not in college. Like when you had a job. No, not about a time when you were waiting tables. Now, seriously, tell me about a time where you had to use leadership... No not at your frat house. How about a time where you had to communicate....No, not while you were umpiring a little league game. Now, seriously....

Hiring a woman with a wet ATP & poor flying skills over a dude w/ multiple engineering degrees & left seat heavy time has nothing to do with the Aviate diversity goal; but it is a much easier position to attack.

He didn’t know the flows but knew the General concepts. For them the whole set up is simplified because they were born in to technology. All us old heads need to do is mentor them when they sit in that right seat. Someone did it for us. We are tradesmen

Why is England’s late Prince Philip not “king” Philip if he is married to the queen?

Flight school resources will be limited due to demand.
Many 4 year schools already limit enrollment. The students have to compete for a seat. For example, Louisiana Tech has a great aviation program. Limited enrollment to 200 students due to aircraft fleet size and instructor cadre and simulator availability. Students wishing to apply here must e compete for a seat. ACT/SAT and high school grades are used to determine if you can get in or not. Just cuz u want to fly doesn't mean you can always do it. Even if you have daddy's check book, you have to put in the work to earn your spot.
