As for the Delta thing, there was some technicality in the regs that forced them to do so. They told me why but I forgot.

With regards to the MPD program, there are idiots from all walks of life. To think badly of all MPD students because of two idiots is kind of silly if you ask me. I would never dream of doing anything like they did, nor is there anything in the training that would make it seem to be OK totry. Idiots are idiots, no matter where they went to school. I've been to the sim in Farmington, it was OK. Having the systems class and the sim was a definite plus in understanding a jet aircraft. I have been assigned the ERJ, and frankly the systems are quite similar (the ERJ is more simple in some respects).

The program offers a guaranteed INTERVIEW, not a guaranteed JOB. I know of two people from Midland who didn't make it through the interview, and one that washed out in the sim. I suspect these people did in fact have the impression all they needed was a pulse to succeed.

Most of us have worked our asses off, simply want to fly airplanes and avoid the politics and bad attitudes that seem to be prevelant.
