As we pulled into the gate the FO said to the CA, "Hey have you seen who we're hiring? We're really desperate and really scraping the bottom fo the barrel." I didn't say anything, but I regretted not saying anything. It kinda pretty not great. Not saying we are hiring the cream of the crop at United, but be aware of who reads this forum and have some humility.
