HR See it different
Nail on the HEAD!
Have you ever seen an HR person on the jumpseat ?
How many HR women (HR depts are 99% women) are married (or sleeping/living) with pilots ?
So if the answer to the above questions are NO and NIL, then HOW THE HELL DO HR 'ladies' know what is required on the Flight Deck?
HR questions to a colleague who recently underwent screening at a XXX airline
Q: Give me an example of how when you were under pressure you diffussed the situation/conflict.
Ans: I shot and killed him!
Startled HR 'lady'- nearly faints but manages to regain her thoughts
Q: Why did you shoot him?
Ans: He was Taliban and shooting at us !
HR: Don't you think that was a little too agressive?
Ans: No
HR: But if he was shooting at you, were you not frightened?
Ans: No
HR: I do not believe you. If you are being shot at YOU must be frightened. It is human nature. Tell us why you were not frightened.
Ans: Parachute Regt. 2 tours in Iraq and 2 in Helmund province.
HR: Where is Helmund province?
Ans: Colleague looks at Mgt Pilots - "Gentlemen, If you as an airline employ HR staff with no brains or 'Life experience' as this lady as displayed here, then you are not worthy of my services. Good day"
