Whilst I congratulate those who applied for the positions and were successful, I believe the interview process is still very flawed... there is no taking into account the persons years of service, experience, operational performance, sickies and attendance and ability to manage manpower either on a person to person level or as someone in charge of a team.
Same can be said for the A380 selection process....
It seems if you can talk the "official" talk, quote some of the management business philosophies and show that you are a true believer in the over cooked safety beliefs... you are an ideal candidate for any position.
There are so many excellent LAMES out there that put in a brilliant effort every day that deserve training without this interview and application crap... let their reputation and performance speak for themselves, and let them see their efforts are seen and appreciated.
Perhaps Mr Fedsec might discuss this with the new management team at the next meeting.
