None of those maybe’s take away from someone’s ability to aviate. Nor do any of the above make you a better aviator in any way shape or form. Don’t kid yourself!!
After 11,000 hours and 25,000 landings I can fly a plane.
But can I get along with you on a 4 day trip???? Or are u a questionable personality!
Flying is the easy part in this job!
FedEx and others ask for extensive criteria in hiring for good reasons! AA WO Flow simply a bottom line (financial) gimmick. They could not care less about personality qualities. Just a number to fill the bottom line and push through training as quickly as possible. Not saying fog a mirror & your hired minimum criteria. But still a numbers game in a dwindling pool.
If AA WO pilots are completing flights on time and doing it cheaply then it’s logical to hire those same pilots via the flow to get the job done and to do it cheaply in the future for Mainline (is the purpose of flow & managements strategic thought process
. PERIOD.
