Pubs are like every other department around here. A minefield of opportunities to surrender your certificate. Add crappy training, busted checkrides due to hostile FAA, inept cheap maintenance and you can start to understand why so many have tanked their careers here and so many, even senior captains, are leaving. The revolving door accelerates so come on over, there will be huge vacancies to fill as far as the eye can see. Minimum requirements and a pulse will do.
