Don't be too hard on OldHrntDrvr, he doesn't know because no one told him.
I don't know what goes on in new-hire these days but back when I went through, we had ALPA guys come in and meet with us. They also treated us to some beverages at the bar that night. I came from an ALPA carrier and knew ALPA history but I didn't know the things specific to UAL.
I didn't know what a "slick-tie" was or why did some of the flight bags at TK have padlocks on them.
We have a lot of new hires on the property and lot more coming, we need to educate them before they get on the line.
