2026 Hiring Outlook

I try not to go deeper into one of CC's usual tangents that derail a thread, but let's not forget that all the people that cry about HR only prioritizing DEI were perfectly fine with the "good ol boy's club" that it was before. People with decision-making power were hiring their kids, buddies, and squadron mates since the Behnke times, often regardless of qualifications or skill. A handful will always slip through, that's why good training and checking is so important. Even with that people will still slip through, it's unfortunately part of the business.
Those we back in the days of actually walking in resumes and literal stack of resumes. I think we are past those days, and the same arguments can be made of those that jumped the line thanks to their dad, they were still technically qualified for the job. Squadron buddies and friends and all that can be called networking and what we should be doing and theres not color attached to a squadron buddy or friend.
 
Too cold for me, thankfully a Cancun trip popped up and I swapped out of Fairbanks. Of course, now I don't come back to base until the end so no more pass throughs, oh well. I could use landings elsewhere anyways, the ILS to 16R is getting boring.
I can't wait to be bored.
