Is...... Able to attend 5-6 weeks of unpaid training in Seattle if selected to much to ask anyone for a job????

1. No, Not If The Applicant Is Ok With It.

I'm glad they put it blantantly in the description, so it doesn't come as a surprise to an otherwise hopeful applicant. Many jobs have unpaid training, but a flight attended job is a pretty good gig. I wouldn't consider that absolutely worth it.

2. Yes, especially considering it only requires

a high school diploma.

This would mean most people applying are not the type who have a lot of extra dough to hang around unpaid for 6 weeks, then wait probably close to another month before getting their first paycheck.

3. Sign of a bad economy

Employers start getting more and more demanding about potential employees. Despite "adjusted" rosy government figures, the jobless pool is quite large, and employers can do a lot of fishing to find candidates willing to jump through hoops.

5. All the airlines do that

A friend went to work for Southwest, and they did the same thing. They have far more applicants than positions, and a lot of people who are "selected" never complete the training.
