My opinion on all of the above can be summed up by the phrase "Epic Failure".
1) Prater sided with 65 we all know that.
2) They are the reason for Known Crewmember period!
3) If they are ever published they are the sole reason for it
4) From what I gather instrumental. I have a 21 y/o I am mentoring that cannot get hired by AMR eagle because he will not meet ATP minima in Aug 2013. From what the Eagle VP stated there are no waivers and he is on the ARC so he should know. All of their applicants must be legal and have the ATP by Aug 2013 or they will not even put them in class. I would attribute to ALPA, which is what their VP said.
