It's a dark art.

The employment process for many operators, especially large operators is dictated
by their corporate manuals that become hard & fast policy.

You have to be aware of what they are looking to get and what to avoid.
Its psychology 101. Ge the wrong person who gets obsessed with a few specific questions
and you could be out of luck especially if you are older.

Its increasingly important to know their psycho-babble of expressions
and psychology 101.

The ability to put round pegs into square holes ie the modern psychobabble run by people who have no aviation background is king and clearly demonstrates how the HR cancer has emasculated flight crew management - they might be "managers" with a title on the door but have stuff all input into the department they are supposed to be managers of, certainly regards to recruitment.

Harder for oldies to adapt to the new (better - yeah, right!) approach or for those who view it for what it is - bull****.

Cheers.

That about sums up todays situation re hiring pilots. They don't want someone who can fly (that can be achieved with enuf money) they seek those that 'fit' their requirements as a follower. Any mug can drive a plane but to tow the line the Co way is another matter. Tigers have LOTS of internal strife, from multiple management changes, very poor long term planning & some utterly moronic decisions made by high ego's that they flounder continuously. If it where not for some of the great crew that exist in there (which are actually small in numbers) then the joint would have gone to the wall ages ago! Careful what you wish for joining this mob !

Anyone in the know able to shed light on the latest FO positions? When they will start reviewing applications? Interview dates? Thanks.

I haven't heard back from Tiger yet. Fingers and toes crossed we hear something either way soon!
