"you appear to not be able to reason about ATP"

I reason just fine. I have the background and experience to understand how things work in the overall scheme of things.

Yeah, ATP guys get hired. So do a lot of other guys. It ain't no thing in this day and age. And I really do think the bar has been lowered too far with how low the experience levels with new hire regional F/O's has gone. Anyhow, gotta keep those seats filled one way or another.

Glad it will never be my problem...
