Airline hiring

[northstar]

Airlines still losing billions of dollars every year, economy still shedding close to 200,000 jobs a month, unemployment rate at 10.2%, and a million people are still getting kicked out of their house every 3 months. The current administration could probably use you in DC helping improve consumer confidence. I don't see the airlines doing any major hiring over the next couple years but hopefully I am wrong.

You're not wrong. You, among many of the few here, have taken Economics 101 at your local community college.

Yeah its all Obama and the Dems fault

You are not wrong... It will be far longer than anyone around here thinks (at least before any of the decent airlines hire in any significant numbers again.)

The economy is still a serious wreck, the dollar is dropping faster than Gen Lee's sister's pink panties, and Obama is doing everything he can to ensure that we wind up as a second-rate two-bit POS european style economy.... (Just spreading the misery around.)

These silly experiments with socialism have been tried before, and they have always wrecked every country they were applied to. The turning point will come when the political winds change. When we get some people in congress who have some inkling of an idea that the resources of our government are not limitless, things will pick up. As long as nancy, barney, and barak are continuing this insane spending orgy, things are gonna really, really suck.

-It is gonna be a while. A long, long while.

(Barak Hussein Obama, mmmm, mmmm, moron.)

Wow! Thank's Mr. Genius Statistician! I'm very enlightened now. And to think, this all coming from a guy that can't even spell "a lot" right in his profile.

Wow! What a DOUCH. Thanks for the grammar lesson Mr. Northstar(since you are the grammar expert, should northstar be capitalized or not?). I post a few FACTUAL NUMBERS vs. crj567's anti Obama rantings and that is all you can come back with? Could not even refute the numbers. Let my guess you get your news from fox, rush, hannity and the crybaby beck. Obtw, should there be an ' in Thank's??

I used SWA because they are a popular airline for pilots to apply to when they were hiring. This question could apply to any airline.

I hate interviews. They suck. I failed miserably at my alaska interview. I could not even tell you why other than I was having a very bad day. I totally blew it. I knew I blew it right there. I hate staring at 3 people with clipboards, in a dimly lit room whose sole purpose is to judge me. I do not recommend professional interview prep. Go in as yourself and wing it.

They all suck! Both D's and R's. We have not had a good President since Teddy R. That being said, he has only been in office about 10 months. A little to early to tell how bad he sucks. W and the boys had 8 yrs, with total control of all 3 branches for 6. What great accomplishments did they provide us? Since the year I was born the R's have been in office 26 yrs and the D's 13. The R's like to blame Clinton on OBL and 9/11, even though it happened on their watch, but want to blame the financial meltdown on Obama. Can't have it both ways boys!

The root cause of the financial meltdown is simple: Social engineering. once the govt. started trying to force banks to "loosen up lending rules" so that everyone could have a shot at "the american dream," things began to fall apart. Eventually, the banks couldn't find any investors stupid enough to buy the securities backed with their crazy loans, the govt stepped in and had Freddie and Fannie buy them, then turn around and sell them as repackaged bonds to nations who actually have money these days-like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Jordan, and China.

The meltdown is simple-the system tried to correct itself, tried to work out all the riff-raff companies, but unfortunately, the worst of the riff-raf was Freddiie and Fannie themselves. This whole mess was created because Clinton, Barney, Chris Dodd, and all sorts of other libs wanted to make everyone fell better about themselves. People feel real good when they can take out 125% on a house with no downpayment, get a 3-yr interest-only loan and go buy the biggest, badest Escalade wih 28" rims..... And some sweet pimped-out gold teeth-with little diamonds implated in them. They feel real good for just about 3 years.

-Guess who wants to "loosen lending standards" again, and "open up lending to disadvantaged people again?" Hint: It ain't W.

Whether he spells Alot ALOTT a lot doesn't mater to the fact. he is right the dollar was at it's lowest value to the Euro in summer of 08 since then it has Climbed a bit but now it is falling.. Which Is good for many of us who have lost jobs and now work over sea. cuz Our new Checks are going much farther at home, Plus I know many people coming to the USA spending on vacations, airline tickets and investing. so this low dollar increasing spending in OUr country and brings in more cash to our Tax coffers.
My 2 cents/ or I mean Now 3 cents
