and XJT hires new FOs from the military (that are just getting recency from us) and the are awful. Most can't talk on the radio....."wait, who is this? Ground? what do I say to them?" "what do I tell ramp now? where am I?"
I think you mean't to put the "lol" at the end of your post, right? Glad to see your type of "Patriotism" as we approach the Memorial Day weekend.
Funny story....We had a pilot at ASA who was originally told he had too little time, 850TT I think (pre-9/11). Pilot recruiter at ASA said "sorry, we're hiring folks with 1200TT, and 200+ME". Of the 850 this guy had, over 400 was as a B1 Commander! Damn good pilot!
