I find it funny the entitlement generation (what they call me) had a higher pass rate than the jacks that named us that.

With that said, I don't find the guys i flew with who got the double no were entitled. I definately studied until there wasnt anything left to study, did my best, and the whole time kept in my head it was a coin toss. Made the cut though.

Got the good flip.

Edit: to new guys, remember many of us have discussed at length if we'd just left mesaba and went to compass we'd already be at delta upgrading on a md88. Many decisions in this industry come down to two roads. I wanted to stay at mesaba because i was worried about the flush details of compass flow, meanwhile i never considered the possibility of the flow being a complete success. The SSP worked for me the DGI might work for you, however, a lot of the guys who mentored me, got a big old double finger salute and it had nothing to do with the made up crap on here. In those days the success rate waffled between 30% or as low as 0%. 70% of the guys you flew with were NOT delta material and being told to go back and fly Delta passengers. It was a crazy time that's still tough to think about.
