😀 young enough to call you Sir (or Madam) and old enough see how things work. That was an interesting time in United’s history - a sobering experience for HR, as well as its pilots. Hope this new algorithm thing works.

I can confirm from multiple candidates that went to the job fair, that they were told by the Head of Pilot hiring during the briefing that they were the top 1% of the applicants. The people that actually interview are random, because the glorious interviewers hired a guy that is universally hated at a certain regional. You all should be ashamed for treating people who give 200% every day like this.

A flawed system can consist of good people. This is as true in government as it is in large corporations.
