The new hires who don't hold the degrees all seem to have "higher" time (ATP mins or close to them) from what I hear, so I buy it that the only low timers are from the prefered schools with good records of getting through our training. Anyone see it different than this, or are most of the low timers Purdue or DWC, etc?
Pretty spot on. The May class was supposed to have 16. 1 didn't show up and, 1 quit just prior to QPT coming to an end. Out of the 14 that are left. 5 are from purdue. 8 held other av jobs (survey, jumpers, crj) + 1 guy that worked at PDT in another capacity.
