Good post and this about sums it up.
If an outfit cant be assed to respond to an application, when looking for pilots, how are their pilots treated when they aren't wanted.
A company's pilots and engineers are their most valuable asset, apart from the aircraft.
There was a story I heard years ago, a Chief pilot who was overworked and stressed grabbed a half a stack of CV's from his desk and threw them in the bin. He was quoted as saying, "the last thing I need is someone down on their luck" or words to that effect.
Over qualified? How the hell can one be over qualified? What they really mean is they wont pay for experienced people, or scared their jobs maybe under threat to someone with a damned sight more experience than them. I was no threat to anyone. Never again after 2 "management" positions. It's a 24/7 job most of the time and the extra money just ain't worth it. I did consider it again but wanted 35% salary increase over line flying and nothing less. That's what you need to compensate for the BS.
