The guys who washed out of my initial class were the higher time guys fwiw.
Don't need to go super low, but 2000/500 is a bit much...1500/200 would get us qualified guys who aren't to wet behind the ears and would come in with a good attitude and ready to learn instead of three time furloughed grumpy old men, washouts and fired guys from other airlines, and some of the others we've gotten recently (along with some great guys).
