Well, most of the ones who have been furloughed were hired in the last two years.... a time when most regionals were hiring people with the ink still wet on their multi commercials. Teaching them enough to pass an SIC type ride in one of the baby jets may be one thing, but to actually teach them to fly a heavy aircraft will take longer than with somebody who has already flown them... besides, if the rest of the industry was hiring the same type as I've been seeing... they have attitude problems, chips on their shoulders, and think they know everything and refuse to learn...
The Ipods in the ears, lack of proper uniforms, and backpacks over the shoulders doesn't help either.
