Say you have 2 candidates, both skilled, friendly, eager, etc.
Candidate 1: Worked for free but does not require a type rating, has time on type.
Candidate 2: Never worked for free but requires a type rating, no time on type.
Bills are piling up. You need someone in your (I dunno, Caravan?) ASAP because your two Chieftains aren't getting released from their 100 hourlies until they get a new engine each.
Who do you choose? How much is the integrity of the candidates standing before you worth to your bottom line?
