And I am talking about United, Delta and so on, with no 121 PIC time. A friend of mine just did a touch and go at an ULCC, he got called to a legacy interview before he finished IOE after he updated his app with an Airbus type. 0 121 PIC.
Recent 121 training event seems to be very valuable. And I am going to guess based on our attrition numbers, a non-regional type seems to have quite a bit of value.
Did those people have a degree?
