I would rather hire a lower time pilot like a CFI with a great attitude, over some RJ jockey with a mediocre attitude.

As someone who will likely be on the street soon, I think being 121 should be nothing more than the union folks guarantee you an interview. This is part of a huge problem in this country with people and entitlements. YOUR NOT SPECIAL BECAUSE YOU FLY 121 AND GET FURLOUGHED!! Alpa nationally getting ALPA members at least an interview sounds good. But some jackazz rj clown is not a better pilot or more qualified than someone fresh out the pipeline from being a CFI IMHO.

I think a lack of weeding out bad pilots exists right now. I hope maybe by being furloughed, some of these clowns might finally get brickwall by not getting hired elsewhere. I know a few at my regional, who I assume slipped through the cracks to get in the door. Prol. the same clown who started this thread. TAKE OFF THE HAT!!!
