-No internet forum for the gouge. The forum was an FE who used to instruct floating through the FBO and regaling the instructors with tales of the interview, ground school and life in the big leagues.
-Typed airline applications then snail mailed. Then wait and pray.

Each generation has their own challenges.
Not true... I flew the metro in the 80's and never had to pay anyone $10,000.00 ! Also made much more than $12 an hour to fly it. Not really sure where this guy supposedly went for such a bad deal?
