The interview at the Regional level is not the same at every company. Some companies have extensive testing and evaluation and requested 1000+ hours all the time.
And here we go...
There are a lot of guys that got through the less stringent screening that would never be able to pass the higher level of selection at a legacy. It generally catches up with them through violations that pin them at their outsourced company, anyways.
The most extensive regional interview is easier than the easiest legacy interview (I dont know about the nationals).
The laptop and taxiway guys' issue has been extensively hashed out... no need to revisit it.
Outsourcing blows.... it has hurt this career just about beyond repair. Would you rather sit the rest of your career in the "9" jumpseat in an outsourced operation? Or actually not depend on your company being the lowest bidder (with goodness knows what corners they cut to be able to be that bdder)?
