Diesel,
Honestly, what do you know about what the hiring dept does or does not do? Exactly who have you talked to? Exactly who have you given suggestions to? My guess is that you haven't talked to a soul. Is it not true that it is all only YOUR opinion, and you created how bad it is in your head? You have NO FACTS about the hiring process. Imagination is a wonderful thing! I already admitted there are issues, and admitted I am embarrassed about the communications before and after the applicant is in CMH. I also explained the union has no involvement in this.
No one claimed we (NJASAP) are trying to run the hiring dept. We actually have a small role. We are in the interview room conducting the "technical interview" and we help answer questions at lunch with the applicants. We help with the "aircraft fitting" at Bridgeway. That is it. I am going to go out on a limb and say that the applicants who see us in action in CMH are impressed. Can I get someone to back me up on this?
The hiring cards have been discussed at length. I guess you still don't get it. Pay attention, I am going to make this simple for you: Those cards are for you to hand out to pilots you meet on the road who are interested in NetJets INSTEAD OF HANDING OUT YOUR BUSINESS CARD. That is it. Simple huh?
I don't know what to tell you Diesel. It is not NetJet's responsibility to hire every pilot wanting to apply. Just because an applicant has 10,000 with 8,000 PIC doesn't mean he/she is qualified to fly for NJA. Flying an airplane is 20% of what we do, and you know that.
Re-read the union boards. I published the total apps, and those with LOR's. We can't take all of them.
Still waiting on suggestions, although I recommend you submit them on the union board.
