I was only commenting on his post regarding American, guess I didn't know about the numbers of guys struggling in training and being fired on probation like apparently you do. . Only know what I see on line and new guys coming from 121 backgrounds and higher time guys are really great to fly with when they are brand new on the equipment. A number of guys I've flown with from fighter backgrounds have really low time and experience like 1200-1400 total time over a 20 year career, and it sometimes shows, especially with weather, MEL and operational issues, but they are all sharp guys and catch on, just a bigger learning curve for some. IMHO. I felt like CAL did a really great job of every class being a mix of 121/military/charter/corporate/regional backgrounds. Seems like each class was a few of each.
