Baseball,
I agree they should continue to improve the hiring process. But it may be a function of simply being too manpower intensive to do it, and methods like the one you propose might require too many man-hours of line Captains.
My friend is a new hire and quoted 1000 pilots a year from 2017-2019. That is a manpower intensive hiring process.
I'd like to know how many are interviewed each year so I could figure the success rate. Even with a 75% hire rate, that's 1400 interviews to accomplish each year to get ~1000 pilots.

I fully disagree with your sentiment. Those room full off farts you speak of got me through the last 16 or so years. I will forever be indebted to them.
The people you choose to denigrate want to do a good job but were smothered by circumstances beyond their control. I consider the fact that we did not endure a hull loss during these times as a testament to the skill and professionalism of the aviators you choose to disparage.

I was merely referring to the fact that unlike buscappy, I would rather have a new hire who is genuinely happy to be here than one who isn't.
I'm bummed that folks would ever think that I have anything but the utmost respect for EVERY pilot who safely endured the last 16 years at this airline, carrying the water while our management continuously crapped on us, our families, and our customers. I guess I need to consider my tone in future posts if that's the vibe I'm putting off.

No way dude! I'm still rockin the concert t-shirts and the diamond earring on layovers.
Oh, wait....
My back hurts (freaking guppy), my belly is getting large, I can't hear (freaking guppy) and my nose and back hair can be braided. Yup. I'm officially old.

Easy there speed racer. I wasn't referring to the PILOTS, though on reading it again now I can see how it came off that way. I was referring to the fact that the last 16 years in this industry has SUCKED for all of us and it's really nice to have some positive momentum. In no way, shape or form was mine a post to infer that our pilots were anything short of heroic for making it through the past 16 years of crap. I sat next to countless guys/gals getting furloughed, bumped, and stagnated and it makes me absolutely thrilled every time I see a bid come out now to see those same names going to the widebodies, upgrading, etc.
