Let this be an example to the new hires--your groundschool and first year on the line is most definitely still part of the hiring process. This is true at every airline, whether it's a legacy or a regional.

My policy has always been that I don't want the chief pilot to know or hear my name--at all--in my first year at an airline (if not for the rest of my career). Show up to work, fly the plane, and get through your first year--leave your personality, issues, and emotions at home. And stay miles and miles away from flight attendants on overnights and ESPECIALLY in groundschool.
