Hogwash. United hired kids right out of high school in the 60s to fly jets. We fly mainline's customers around in glass-cockpit jets owned by the mainline carrier. We're are all doing a mainline job already. Them continuing to outsource the flying we do is at a MINIMUM a tacit endorsement of our ability to be mainline pilots. The only reason these outsourced jobs exist is because mainline pilots thought they were too good to fly little planes and the gummers wanted to protect their fat widebody paychecks. Get off your high horse, wannabe skygod.
