Kids today are scratching their heads wondering “Why would a CRJ FO have 7,000 hours?”
-Pay for training
-Gulfstream. The only airline in the world where the FO was paying more than the passengers.
-Colgans ATP written interview test followed by NDB holds in a level D beech 1900 sim to make $18 an hour.
Off my soapbox. Was a fun trip down memory lane lads. Now get off my lawn.
