jetrunner makes some excellent points. I think it is very telling that they have completely reversed the emphasis of the selection process. It has always been heavily weighted to the sim eval on the first day, with candidates being weeded out on day 1 if they have problems...wait for it...FLYING/MANAGING THE AIRCRAFT! Remember that part of the job?
Now it's like an afterthought. As long as you can say the right things and tick the right boxes on the psych tests, why, then maybe we'll let you have a go at flying!
Totally bizarre...the inmates are truly running the institution. Well, when all else fails, lower your expectations I guess.
