Pheeeww!!
Struck a raw nerve there methinks BAE146.
Before you get stuck in N.I.E, playing devils advocate is fine, but I think we may be missing the point.
They are desperate!
DJ advertising in the Aussie,
REX doing roadshows,
Numerous other operators, including those above advertising overseas!
Give me a freak'n break!
All and any of the suitable applicants for these positions are mearly a mouse click away. They, (the operators) either don't get it or are clutching at straws. Probably both.
I'm amazed that It hasn't sunk in yet. Like all the others, DJ are going down to the wire with every half ars@d hair brained scheme that HR, (we all know how bright they are..) can come up with.
The idea of advertising for experienced 73NG drivers is just another example of how out of touch they are.
In the end, only one thing will fix this problem. MONEY, and lots of it.
