F for Southwest and the tower for lack of awareness, big fucking A+ for FedEx guys for babysitting everybody around.
I think one problem with the radio communication is that because of its terse and scripted nature all of the emotion is removed and it does not convey the urgency.
I can imagine the apprehension of FedEx pilots when they asked "confirming we are cleared to land Runway 18 Left?". I can also understand why the controller just treated it as one of the million other question of the same type without ever catching there is anything wrong here.
To be sure, most people who got successful don't really understand how they got there. Most of the time they think they do but then what really happens is they are rationalising and/or using circular logic.
Don't get me wrong, they most likely put a lot of work in and most likely did a lot of things right but deep understanding of it is not necessary for success.
It is different for different cultures but also depends on mobility.
In western world it is currently family but that's because family ties are much more likely to be preserved over time than ties to your village.
In other places in the world people are so immobile that they are expected to be born, grow up, work and die in the same village. And so ties to your local community are much more likely to be preserved over time just like ties to your family. It is not that the village replaces your family, it is just another group of people where it makes sense to invest to get something back in the future. Imagine you had tight knit group of friends where you left school but somehow are still able to stick together. If you trusted that this will continue for a long time it would be much easier to invest within the group knowing somebody might help you out later.
Yes. People knocking on our doors thinking they were hired and come to start their first day of work.
What happened was the fraudsters asked the candidates to buy some hardware on their own claiming we will reimburse them. Then they said they are sending them money to reimburse them but they made a mistake and sent too much and asked to send back the difference.
Another variant was they asked them to buy computers and then send to fraudster's address ostensibly for software installation.
We tweaked our website so that candidates browsing our website learn we never do such things, we explained the hiring process and especially the communication.
