Amen to that !! It's hard to get questions answered if airlines don't explain it well enough in their public statements. And in addition to all the hurdles people have to jump to get that interview/job, people like IllinoisDavidson's husband get to jump one more.
One airline with which I'm familiar does mention the NACES requirement but offers no further explanation about how this requirement is properly handled by applicants in their system: Do it yourself with any NACES affiliate ? Do it with a company the airline prefers (gotta keep the airline HR people happy...feathers unruffled) ? Do it in the application process ? Do it if/when given an interview ?
It would only take a sentence or two to make life just a little bit easier for applicants and not make them guess. I suppose this doesn't get taken care of because there are so few people having to meet the requirement.
