My comments have struck a nerve! If you cannot attack the message's reasoning, attack the message. That always facilitates an intelligent discussion.
I'd bet that you did not P-F-T. So how do you come off telling me that I should have??
I got interviews at non-P-F-T airlines, so someone was either filling a quota by bringing me in or thought I might be qualified. Shortly thereafter, P-F-T bubbled up and became about the only way to get a job. Why should I, or anyone, have to buy their way in if already qualified? That is outrageous. Accordingly, I invite you to read the story of Faust by Goethe for more reasons not to P-F-T.
Go look up the word "fraud" in the dictionary and you will see another reason not to P-F-T. Also look up "crapshoot" while you're at it.
I must need to have my vision checked. I do not recall reading "age discrimination" anywhere in this discussion. Did you see something I did not? In any event, you've obviously read my many age discrimination comments elsewhere. Did another lightbulb come on? Here's another age discrimination comment relative to my others: "If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck." Did that make sense? Think about it.
