Keep in mind, we want to hire pilots other pilots will get along with. Willing to undercut the guy next to you doesn’t really make friends.
I have to agree with Half wing. His airline hired him... a chap who makes statements without merit or substantiation. His moniker shows “787”. US carrier... AA and UAL, as far as I know currently are the two carriers operating the jet. One cold bet that Half wing wouldn’t make such statements without knowing the process and hoops one goes through joining becoming an expat. Background, criminal checks, local and state and other law enforcement checks, let alone the dedication it takes to write 14 exams. I’m sure
his current airline’s pilot all discussed, deliberated, and by unanimous consent, said this is the guy we need!
