Peg,
You are way to kind, they have only left you bothered, most have left me gobsmacked. Since the Bafoons behind the glass walls have nested the application procedure and its outcomes has been laughable, so much so that some damn decent candidates are no longer considering applying for the position. Given that unless the, dare i say it, managers, cabin crew that is, have personally seen an applicant "manage" then they are up that creek in a barbed wire boat!. Remember the acknowledged or supported box!.
The process needs to be given a large dose of salts before a little kudos can be granted it.
