Chief Pilot asked another airline to delay hiring me due to shortage?

I kind of think a lot of people are sewering themselves in interviews too, but if you can blame someone else it saves the trouble of having to improve AND you get a fun victim story to tell.

Heard first hand account of a pilot at "company A" get hired at "company B". Pilot tells CP of company A he is resigning. Next thing he knows he gets a call back from company B saying they are postponing his groundschool date at the request of CP, because CP called company B and said they "couldnt afford to lose him now".

Also if they tanked the interview why would they make it to the refference stage?

I would take month of unpaid vacation before going along with a scheme like that. You'd also likely qualify for EI if the delay is longer than 2 weeks.

Exactly. Job offers are coming quick these days. I literally quit my job and took off to the Philippines with my wife for 40 days. I have two interviews and two conditional offers lined up already

I didn’t say it never happened and if you read the thread you would have seen the part where I admitted to being complicit in this.

This part is a lot sloppier than most people think, especially when the hiring machine is running wide open. Many companies farm out their reference calls and I hate it. These subcontractors seem to work at their own pace and I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re given a call list before interviews even happen in the hopes that they’ll check references and report back before the decision to hire is made. The worst case I heard was a candidate being removed from a groundschool as it was happening due to a bad reference.

You're not some piece of cattle

Cough cough.

Bang on your stall with a hoof when you're ready to give me the next belly laugh.

Let me rewrite it: You can choose to not be a piece of cattle.

I'm not sure where you came up with that. The conduct needs to be "tortious", but not illegal. Fraud is the only crime/tort that bears the same name, although any victim of a crime also has civil law recourse. Criminal assault can also be the basis of a civil claim, for example.

I think you're confusing criminal with illegal. They are similar, but not synonymous.

The tort of intentional interference with economic relations has three elements:

The defendant must have intended to injure the plaintiff’s economic interests.
The interference must have been by illegal or unlawful means.
The plaintiff must have suffered economic harm or loss as a result.
