No pilots involved in interview process?
Just curious.... As a line Captain I noticed that we seem to be hiring two kinds of pilots: 1. Experienced/qualified, and 2. Not ready for prime time
I would think that Line Captains or other experienced folks would be involved in the process to insure that the Not ready for prime time folks would be still waiting in line. For some reason, and I think it's some sort of HR thing we seem to be lowering our standards and qualifications for "special interest" category people. Our need for "diversity" may be resulting in lowering the bar. |
I think you have been misinformed.
Of the three people that did my interview two of them were pilots. Both captains. I obviously don't know all the pilots hired. But, of the ones I do know, all are well qualified. Do some of them check other diversity boxes? Yes. But they are all qualified. |
Just curious what makes them not ready for prime time? What did they say when you asked them who was involved in the interview process? I assume you asked them right?
I am a fairly new hire, there was an HR person, FO and Capt involved with my interview. |

Pilots are involved, but they're not at the top of the pecking order. HR is. Maybe that's what you meant to say.

I think HR has way too much influence in this process. You get points??? Yes, that's what I mean. I don't think we need to be hiring 2000 hour types when there are several other more well qualified candidates out there right now. Just my opinion, but a 2000 hour co-pilot at a commuter should probably not be getting the nod right now to come up to the majors, when you consider the depth of the applicants out there that have been humping it for a long time paying their dues.

Don't really see 2000 hr type guys as anything near the trend of what's coming through the door.
