He's talking about the mid 20's RJ FO that doesn't even have 3000TT. And not any TPIC.
Except for Timmy Martins, are any of those retired mil guys with IE/EP/NATOPS/Standeval/safety/chief/multiple platforms flown experience types running around mid 20's RJ FO's with barely any flying experience? Let alone life experience? Didn't think so.....
It's happening more and more than the last 2 hiring waves/eras I got to be a part of and observe.
I've seen some of the names of the "4 month CA's" at DAL. Please forgive my "ignorance" of their application, but I KNOW SOME OF THEM. I'm not sure job fair attendance and all that (fake) volunteer stuff they put on their resume is going to make them a good MD captain......
Also, AboveMins has got to deal with the consequences/fallout of a system right now that, shall we say has been completely FUBAR'd by a certain HR rep over a bruised ego. And that's putting it very very nicely.........
John beat me to it. I should have added that lower time military folks are in no way included in my observation. I've flown with some civilian background folks who belong nowhere near a 121 flight deck, with class dates at UAL and DL. It's usually pretty easy to spot someone who has a military flying background, and the folks I was referring to are definitely not military. Sorry if that ruffled any feathers, but it leaves so many of us scratching our heads. Do they want to hire poster children, or folks who can effectively manage an airliner?
