The company no longer has to hire those guys that have been out of the industry for over a decade, low time PIC hours, odd personalities, those that were asked to leave other training programs for odd reasons.

It has changed from the time where the regionals were scraping the bottom of the barrel just a couple of months ago to being able to get the cream of the crop.

You seem to be arguing that the company will have to take either one, when they will probably not hire either one because no one is talking about the third choice.
