All good stuff you wrote on cv's etc, and on binning.
Let me pose a question to you. Did you reply or acknowledge to all CV submitting hopefuls, whether it be the standard letter of rejection or at the very least an automated response on receipt of CV? An honest reply will tell me a lot about the company you worked for and possibly a bit about yourself.
On a lighter note I did hear a story about a stressed CP who saw a stack of CV's on his desk. He grabbed half of them and threw them into the bin and was heard to say, "the last thing I need is a load of unlucky pilots".
