Thanks Need4Speed for sharing your perspective. Depressing to read but unfortunately the status quo will probably continue.

756/767Pilot - I asked him the question because I'm still trying to understand what happened back then. Were you around? Do you understand it and if so can you explain? I'm serious. No one seems to understand why we made that decision?

I hate the current set-up, we all do and there seems to be no solution in sight. Former RJ operators and pilots from other companies, people who've never worked here before, are being trained as 757/767, 747 and A300 captains and check airman, while you and I look at 15-20 year upgrades. Right at this moment. In the meantime we have very experienced line pilots who've flown the very same type of airplanes and operations for 25+ years who aren't check airman?? The senior folks have been watching this spectacle for decades. Bizarre, illogical, unsafe and plainly wrong but it has been going on and it is still going on. I'm sure you too have already heard some of their logic and excuses. "Oh, I was simply asked during my interview if I was interested in becoming an instructor. Figured it was my vast regional instructor background they liked..."
So 75/76 - are you disagreeing with the quote below? In order to move forward don't we have to learn from our mistakes?? Many senior guys I've flown with said that we slammed the door on Dorsey and that it was a huge mistake, one we're still paying for. True or not? What IS the solution? IS there one?
