This thread has deteriorated to the point of no usefulness. Potentials are still going to come despite warning. F9 line flyers are still going to voice their extreme displeasure despite common sense suggesting otherwise.

The only solution is a new contract. Plain and simple. Until then, no one will be happy and this thread should be shut down.

If you’re a potential new hire and you have accepted a position, good luck but don’t expect assistance from us regarding anything. If you pass your checkride, I’ll treat you like a fellow pilot. Hell, this is an anonymous blog and I wont know who you are anyway (and am not the type of dude to look up employee # and make judgements). But, the training for an Airbus, while the training staff is good, is not easy and passing your checkride is a big IF.

Sometimes, it’s better to crawl before you run....
