id also add because of the shortage a lot of people got lucky earlier in in life, didn’t instruct for years like rest of us. They got right seat 91/135 time in G5s for 1500 out of their 2000 which was way more valuable than a Lot of my instructing time etc
it’s dunce cap logic at best. It’s too broad of a brush to use seeing as ex FedEx are post Covid hires of the majors, guys who were at atlas, military guys, guys who came from spirit pre closure with years of pic experience, people from frontier and JetBlue. I’m not understanding this logic. Yes some got hired with substandard hours compared to pre covid and I guarantee even most of them had either pic time at a regional or had a multitude of types by time they were interviewed. I’m see former spirit captains who were hired last year. Truly starting to think some of those who comment aren’t even airline pilots.
