I suppose this is pretty good advice, so maybe I can give you a bit of info: all the management of this outfit are alumni of my former airline. While I do not know them personally, I am certainly long aware of their experience/track record in the flight ops realm. They are all very experienced, talented people whose integrity need not be put up for discussion.
If one disagrees with the application methodology, then by all means don't apply. This is a personal choice. There would be no way for most to be particularly familiar with the gentlemen running this outfit so I am providing my small bit of knowledge, FYI.
Whether they have sufficient business acumen remains to be seen.
And, no, I am not applying ( too old/disinterested ) nor do I have any financial stake in this company.
Hope this sheds a little light.
