I don't think as professionals this kind of stuff should be openly discussed on public forums.
I guess I don't see what was so inflammatory about his post. New hires are about to be (likely) humbled. This may be a good heads up for folks to take all their flight training and hour building seriously.
A certain poster here was looking to go from flight instructing to the regionals. His signature was something like "needing ATP mins to find an airport with an FMS." I think some folks have overly simplified view of 121 flying or maybe the wrong attitude going in.
And by the way, if that poster is still around, I don't wish any ill will, and hope you have been able to move on.
