At least the guy was/is a CFI and lived to apply to an airline.... the last two years they were hiring kids with the ink still wet on their commercial tickets, and the IOE Captains were having to play flight instructor to teach these kids everythign they didn't even know that they didn't know.
As bad as it is, at least the folks who've done the CFI time probably know how to fly.... at least a little.
