Thanks for the reply.
And added to the usefulness of these pilot screening programs is the technical interview of which I can get tons of info before hand from this very website. And tailored specifically for the airline I'm going for an interview with. I only have to start a thread titled "going for Airline x interview what should I know" I'll have a massive head start on the guys that don't have this info. Inside info, tips and the lot.
Perhaps the best place to go before an interview is pprune.com, I wonder how many people have managed to get a job simply because of this website.
But at the end of the day if airlines are missing out on the good pilots its their own loss, in one way or the other. Either they're going to have a mishap(s) due to pilot error, god forbid, or it will in the end hit the bottom line, I don't think an airline full of bad pilots will do as well as an airline full of good ones.
