I love how all these 9 year FOs are convincing themselves that TPIC doesn't matter. They site like one or two guys that are friends of friends that got hired at Delta without TPIC. Little do they know that guy was like 3 generation legacy.

Look, is TPIC necessary? Probably not, but you are fooling yourself if you don't think TPIC puts you ahead of someone without it. Thinking PIC time being prefered is antiquated is just silly and inaccurate.
