You guys make it sound like you need to be a master aviator to recognize the situation that requires engine and/or wing anti-ice.
If their seniority can hold it, and they meet the mins then let the training take it's course and they either pass or fail. If they fail and it is within their probationary year then they are out of a job most likely.
In 2000 we hiring street Captains on the E120 at ASA, and some of them came straight from Flight safety, or Riddle with an ATP written and the ATP requirements. They did just fine with no hull loses.
But that is not what CBreezy and FB want to hear. They only want preposterous vitriol to support their theory that MAG pilots are of a lesser caliber than all other regional pilots, even if facts indicate otherwise. They don't know what it's really like here though because neither one of them actually works here. Instead they have this fantasy world on APC where they contribute absolutely nothing of value and mainly post just to annoy everyone. Most people just ignore them. They have one of these circle jerks about once every week or two. Typical regional lifer attitude, because no one at mainline wants to work with those types (At least that's what I'm told when riding the jumpseat).
