Perhaps Delta should do ALL the hiring, including all the regionals, problem solved. Good enough to be hired at DCI good enough for Delta then.
Northwest wasn't a regional with no hiring standards.
Yea, guys like you. What, did Pinnacle make some exception for you? You were hired under the same criteria. Just because you have moved on don't put yourself on some pedestal. And if I were you, I'd stop stepping on guys toes and making such a broad stroke of the brush for an entire pilot group. This is a small industry.
It's not a broad brush, it's true. The regionals have a very low hiring standard compared to majors. You can look at the acceptance level of intervieews at majors versus regional. You can look at the percentage chance of being called at a major versus a regional. It's a night and day difference. The interview process is also different. I never said anything bad about the good guys. My point oaths legacies should be able to weed out the bad flying personalities.
