SWA reducing minimum requirements again

I don’t think a lot of people do either. The Stockholm syndrome is like right below the surface here. People here know we have a lot of problems but spirit absolutely blows aa away when it comes to QOL and a lot of people refuse to believe it. My wife reports that the wives Facebook group reports similar things.

The Spirit Wives group is brutal! I would not suggest crossing them. Ha! :)
 
I hear part of the interview now involves giving a 60 second rant on political topics of your choice, judged by DAL and HOU based line pilots. ;)

Well, when are you applying?

Accurate... but the needle is slowly moving. Maybe by the time I retire it'll be a little closer to 50/50.
 
TBNT after an interview. ~4300 tt, 1000+ TPIC, bunch of LORs, three internal recs, etc.

And no, I'm not going to apply again.

Took me two tries and I had more than twice that experience. But if the way you were treated was such that you're no longer interested, I understand that

Well, they may be desperate, but they weren't desperate enough to hire me.

You’re gonna consider this to be harsh, but as an employer, my advice to you is to hire an interview prep company to help you come up with a plausible and acceptable story for why you left a job as an airline captain to go play roller derby. Most employers in a highly conservative profession like aviation are gonna have a hard time reconciling that.

And yet United hired a person from my shop who failed upgrade training and got fired after exhausting the contractual remedies allowed to him or her as the event failures piled up. Who has the more reconcilable journey?
