Yet another thread about interview techniques.

[derg]

Some folks are sort of naive of how tight the recruiters are with each other. They literally see each other and hang out together at every event.

Very much so.

My friend says it's kind of like a "homecoming". Who is still with the team, introductions of the new additions, cocktails later on.

Whoa. I was referring to the regional target pilots, typically the younger ones and the DUIs associated with the young and stupid/careless ages 16-22 the high school / college aged. Typically these cases are not alcoholics but rather were young/dumb/misjudgement/etc.

Of course alcoholism is a real problem. I've met one, he got into HIMS in time and recovered. I knew another guy who no one would have guessed had been an alcoholic but he went through treatment and recovered. He opened up and talked about how it had destroyed his marriage, his kids didn't respect him, and other personal things. But how he had now recovered and wished he could have done it sooner. A good guy from all accounts. So yes, I do believe alcoholism is a disease.

Sorry for the confusion on my part.

Thank you for clarifying and understanding the disease.

I don't know what I like more. The "hirer" or the fact that it's a DWI (not a DUI). Or the fact that the recruiters actually answered the question and want to interview him.

Varies by state. DUI, DWI, OUI, etc.

It's not impossible, but hopefully with the retirements coming no one will have to worry about furloughs for a decade or so. Who knows?

Saved for the next downturn.

Oh hey BTW it's an election year....

I would take a recovered alcoholic as an employee any day.

I would have an issue if someone called themselves a recovered alcoholic. It's a disease that doesn't have a cure, just a coping factor. Recovering yes, recovered no. It's a one day at a time thing and I give full credit to those fighting the battle. Maybe because I know a few that say they are an alcoholic but can still socially drink.

But which bathroom would they use?

That ALPA HIMS video has a guy saying, "there's a reason it's called 'alcoholism' and not 'alcoholwasm'."

We had one of the pilots from our HIMS video in my CQ class. Interesting for his added comments afterwards. Very uplifting.
