I also wouldn't say that FLX's training is not up to high standards. 4 out of 11 made it through for various reasons. As for the pilots there. I am still in my first week flying the line. I just got back (2 hrs. ago) from a 13 hour duty day. I flew about 1/3 of my flight in actual IMC, with rain, and a heavy wind in a single piston engine airplane with no auto pilot and no GPS, just VOR's, single pilot.

That sounds like a day on the DC9!


Well, minus the no autopilot, single piston, single pilot.
OK, sorry for the thread jacking.
