Once upon a time perhaps....but I think most of us can see that this is not necessarily or consistently the case in these days of HR mumbo jumbo!
PG
I would suggest in the history of pilot recruitment, NEVER could it be said that consistently are the most capable candidates hired.
Are you are implying that beacause some great guys and girls are missing out because of HR oddities, that somehow those that are successful are, by virtue of the fact that HR have liked them, not able to be considered
as competent?
Those that have been successful to date put their application in early, realised they would have to play the game to progress and prepared themselves as best they could to make it so. Some went through, some didn’t.
Qantas, along with every other airline and even the ADF have been guilty of overlooking some tremendously capable people over the journey, while at the same time allowing some people you wouldn’t perhaps place in the same category to slip through. This isn’t a new development.
