Seems the name & shame list is not going so well?!?
What a stupid suggestion, in ones first post (at least with that username), to mention two reputable companies as candidates for such a list.
That, however, does not make the idea of a list a bad one.
How about a list of selfpaying morons, the losers that paid for ratings and work, the identity-pilots that kept yours truly behind the wheel of a taxicab for too long, the 21yr old flight school graduates with 15 years aviation business experience, making weak excuses for having no backbone, the know-it-alls that "just want to get the career started" thus paying Ryanair, Pegasus or some other absolutely bottomfeeding operator for the privilege of making a colleague unemployed.
In short... the people that turns this profession into an expensive hobby for snotty-nosed punks with rich parents.
The scab-list from the days of old was a harsh, but righteous and just way of dealing with the undesired elements. Maybe it is time for a new list!
Ok, maybe a list is not required, just a bit of vigilance when in a position of screening for interviews/ jobs. Keep the deteriorators of aviation excellence on the low-cost or unemployed side of the fence. Don't reply to these applications.
ohhh... and a good morning, hope I don't come across as opinionated

A lot of of assumptions here.
Don't assume anything. Assume makes an ASS of yoU and ME.
My son may well have 10,000hrs, meet the minimum advertised requirements and be currently employed as aircrew.

Well the whole thing doesn't really add up as TAG have an on-line application system that generates automatic responses. Finger trouble perhaps? Years ago I applied for a position at TAG. When they changed to the on-line system I got a letter from them requesting me to apply through the website. I did and got an immediate response and even though I am now happily employed I still get job updates from them periodically.
TAG probably receives hundreds of CV every month with dozens of pilots sending follow up emails as well as phone calls. The Chief Pilot would be neglecting his primary functions if he were to respond to each applicant - simple as that.

A good trolling job though, it made me giggle. I'll bet there are people out there that are mental enough to want to fight their grown sons employment battles for them in this way.
If you really want to help, slip on the suspenders and go and visit the chief pilot with a bottle rohypnol, a Polaroid camera and a Sheep called Betsy. Blackmail is a perfectly reasonable way of getting your diddums a job.*

Air Alsie is one fine company to deal with!
But, of course, you have to apply in the very same manner as everyone else; on-line application.
If you do that, you will get an automated reply, saying;
Why name`n´shame a company that at least gives you the courtesy of a mail?! 
Play by the rules, and thou shall be rewarded!

This is as funny as it gets. Are you serious?
Quit washing his clothes, making his lunch ,and matching his clothes and tell him to grow a pair.
In my opinion, this is no business for moma's boys anyway.
Maybe you could get him a job as a librarian( not that there's anything wrong with it).

I have an idea! If pilots stopped applying for jobs when they don't meet the requirements, sending CV's when they are not asked for, or turning up without an appointment for a chat then maybe the people dealing with the applications would have enough time to reply.
I had an idea. I phoned the company I was interested in joining and told them I was on holiday in the area and could I drop my cv in that day.
A frantic 3 hr drive later I was at the front desk handing over the envelope when the Ops Manager walked passed and stopped to ask who I was.
I left an hour later with job offer. (and still with them 14 years later)
They never asked why I wore a suit on holiday!
