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?
No kidding... I don’t get why so many trash their peers in this profession. This thread is a joke. No matter how you got here, this profession tends to weed out almost all of the weak performers well before you ever get to your “final job”. At this stage we’re all just about the exact same. And as for weirdos, I’m sure there everywhere in every profession, it’s just that it’s harder to hide when your sitting 2 feet away from each other for 4 long days with not much else to do but have long conversations about just about everything and anything.
