"Do you think an employer would hire someone like that? "

I really do not want to start a war but i want to mention a word .. Its called Loyalty ... Loyalty is a quality that is highly desireable . whether someone has an axe to grind after being rejected for employment or screwed over for promotion . Being loyal even when you feel the chips are down speaks volumes about character . Everyone here is looking for the dream job but I will say would a potential employer hire someone who is not loyal . NO sometimes things are better left unsaid . I blew the sim ride at Colgan and did not get hired . Was I dissapointed in the process YES Would I bad mouth the airline NO Will I re apply and hopefully get to show myself as a better pilot yes .
I am unemployed but I am loyal Thats why i sleep good at night though I am stressed about getting a job. Flame away if you feel the need.

Diver Driver why can't I PM you? Do I still not have enough posts? You can delete this btw.

The " I have no desire to work at such a place" sounds fishy is it you have no desire to work at the place or they did not hire you? I was not hired but have no axe to grind I did ****ty in the sim . My fault ...not Colgans . Given the opportunity to do the sim over I would do well. Just my observation.

No need to flame.
No axe to grind. I didn't interview there because I truly do NOT want to work there. I am just curious why a company would send out a letter like this.

I truly wish you luck on your next interview. Hopefully you will succeed and get a job.

When did they take the Gucci leather seats out of the planes? That was always our selling point..... "Folks reach forward and feel that imported European leather seat in front of you.... only here at Colgan will you really experience an all First Class cabin."

I am and I still don't have any tickets to get there... I guess I will be calling on Tuesday to figure it out.

I'm sure they are still pretty busy so I might have slipped through the cracks. I also didn't set up the interview until August 31st so that might have something to do with it.

You're probably right. They are very busy and mine was set up back on the 18th. Good luck and I'll see you there!

When I interviewed in July I did not receive my travel itinerary until 4:30 pm the day before the interview. They are very busy and it is easy to slip through the cracks. I had to call and remind them a few times. Good luck!
