[quote=80ktsClamp;762519]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.
Really?
jetBlue is a legacy and they only have personal talks during interview, no testing what so ever.........
I heard from many going to AirTran and Delta from Skywest that the interview was a joke comparing to what they expected.
Last time I jumpseated on Delta the FO had flown for Colgan before and was never a PIC at Colgan. That pilot went from CFI to Colgan and then to Delta in two years. Pretty amazing eh?
I also know of one guy getting hire by NW airlines at 700 hours in 2007.
When it comes to issues happening at the legacys then it is always "the issue has been extensively hashed out" but insulting Regional pilots that fly RJs, ERJ etc is never ending........
give it up,
The pilots at the legacys are no super pilots at all, believe me.
there are terrible and good pilots at all levels and to insult a whole group is wrong.
I have Jumpseated hundreds of times with legacys and seen some terrible examples there too
The legacy outsources all flying as they do not want to pay more people the salaries they are paying their pilots.
Only legacy management controls the Regional and the entire 121 industry. To blaim Regional pilots for that is wrong.
