Back to the OP
What is the average TT flow throughs have at time of flow?.. and PIC? The OP was discussing stopping the flow.. any discussion of doing UAL type where an interview is guaranteed... just not a job . That would make a lot of sense to me. My interview at the regional ( a WO of AA) was a joke. Asked me to read a TAF and brief an approach... that was it!.. not sure if it was the same for other applicants that day with little to no PIC. At least having to do the fit assessment / face to face interview could weed out the odd balls.
Have you noticed how many odd balls there are around here that were hired at American, US Air, US Airways, America West, Eastern, Trump, Reno, TWA, Empire...did I leave anyone out? (Piedmont didn't hire any odd balls
).
There will always be some that slip through. If they cannot fly for AA, they should not be flying for a WO. And for those that slip through, we need to make sure we catch it during initial training and probation.
Do other folks in other industries trash their peers as much as pilots do?
