If you want a future at a LCC, knock yourself out.
So much wisdom from Sublime in this one that I think it's important to point out a few gems:
1. Apparently the larger carriers not only have the resources to differentiate the different applicants based on their company's collective pilot group votes of the past, but are even able to separate two candidates (PSA and Envoy for instance) who's pilot groups BOTH voted yes recently, because their hiring department should be capable of discerning the "honorable" yes vote of the two. Right...
2. PSA's quicker relative movement, upgrade, and check airman opportunities some how makes those pilots LESS qualified for positions in the big leagues. Ok...
3. This invisible "black mark" that only Sublime can see apparently does not affect prospective hiring in the LCC carriers, supposedly they are just letting "anyone" walk in these days, right?
