Can anyone tell me the reason airline recruitment people spout complete lies when enquiries are made about their employment plans.
OK maybe complete lies is harsh, but they certainly say the first thing that comes to their head. No plans until late '03, near future etc. then I hear they have taken people on who happened to be in the right place right time! ie Old boys network.
Now I understand they don't want to be swamped which they would be if they advertised but if they want to recruit people quietly what is wrong with saying to me "send in your CV and we'll have a look at it". If I am actually speaking to the recruitment person I don't know how they have the nerve to just lie!
Surely just using the old boy network to employ people means airlines miss out on some of the best non-connected pilots.
I'm not just talking about jet jobs either I have had the same treatment from the small companies also, air taxi etc.
I know this is just another rant by an unsuccessful wannabe but it really irritates me that people are ignoring good pilots just to avoid hassle.
