While I have to admit the hiring process has been very frustrating.....lack of information and long wait times, and now many people being kicked out of the pool after waiting so long, I am still mildly impressed that they continue to call pilots that have been swimming for almost 2 years.
Even the better airline from across the way has been less than perfect in its hiring process. Many people in the pool were told they must re-interview after swimming for a year, and some DECs were told their offer was no longer valid...unless they wanted to be FO.
I don't think they are intentionally trying to screw anyone....just poorly executed plan
