And this is different from any other airline how? With all the competition to get into this profession, and to be more exact, this airline, you need something to set apart some from others. There are plenty of people out there who are qualified, but do they fit the profile the company is looking for? Remember, one may send in a resume that meets or exceeds the mins, but a resume cannot tell a prospective employer about his/her character.Dinger said:I wouldn't call it disgusting, just discouraging.

Dinger,Dinger said:Duh......obviously it is the way it works in this industry. It isn't any more so at UPS. I know you have a good job and may have taken offense. My point was that it can be discouraging if you don't know anyone at THAT AIRLINE. It isn't any different at "brown".
I am not a low-time King Air F/O hoping to make it to the majors. I realize what this industry is like......I've been there, been furloughed.
Next time I will be more clear.....and quit eatin' all my gad domn oreos clyde!

Nah, don't worry about it. Actually, when I read it I took it as a non-offensive comical "duh", and chuckled at it. Something I would have said, so you're still o.k. in my book if that helps. No offense taken, no apology needed.Dinger said:Clyde.....no sweat. I went back and read my post today, and I apologize for the "DUH", that was pretty uprofessional (and possibly high-schoolish). I was going to just edit it, but I figured that enough people have read it already, so I might as swallow my pride and say I'm sorrrr......I'm sorrrrrr.....I'm sooooorrrrrrrr......my bad.
