Was just commenting how it seemed reminiscent of pre-COVID where you couldn’t get hired by American unless you were flow or Mil. My Regional had less than 5 hired by AA each year after they started hiring again before COVID. We had a lot more people go to UA/DL/WN/UPS/FedEx
I thought we were on the American forum too lol.
Hell back in the day (up until about 2021) the AApplication had the Space Shuttle on it for aircraft flown. And you pretty much had to have flown it, been a Blue Angel, or win a lottery ticket as a civillian to get hired. And then you had to pass an astronaut physical. Pre covid they would have never looked at a guy like me in his mid 50s with 15000+ hours and several big jet type ratings. But here we are.
I hope we scoop up as many NK pilots as apply. Let the WOs flow and let the non WO regionals think about their career choices. Nobody should have thought the hiring wave would last forever. This is reality now.
