As frustrating as this job can be at times, I completly agree. There have been stretches where it's been non-stop fun on overnights. There are people at this company that make going to work very enjoyable. Funny enough, the best stories I hear come from the guys and girls who flew for ZK.

Two months ago I sat jumpseat on mainline and watched two grown-ass men have an argument about eating meat. Which ended up with awkward silence from about Kansas City to Philly.

Enjoy what you have now.

Enjoy your time at the regionals. You'll never get to go to Coachs Pub in MKE again once you go mainline. Not sarcasm either. $1 taco Tuesdays

Billyflow..

AA must be an interesting place. Half the people they hire are out of the military. Disciplined, educated, generally great people to work with. The other half is made up of 16 year regional pilots that have the intellect of a trout and needed the flow to be able to go anywhere.

So basically many that wouldn't have been even looked at for an interview now can get one. Like I said since you're knocking the flow just let me know how that CPP works out for ya.

You can't possibly think that the flow will produce better applicants for AA than the CPP will for UAL. The people who pass the CPP interview will actually have shown that they can prepare accordingly, act like a professional, and properly use the English language to write up a resume that doesn't look like it was made by a child.

Give me a damn Break. I flew at Piedmont, got through AA Training and have fun flying with every Captain I've ever flow with.

Give me a damn break with your English and looks. If you want to see how professional I look I can meet up with you in Philly anytime you like. Hell I'll even buy you a coffee and show you my paycheck stub. I think it'd be fun! I can even share stories of my Piedmont Interview with you. Maybe it will help you with the Hogen Test.
