There's a guy flying at PDT who interviewed at AA and got sent packing. He has a close relative who flies a wb at AA. That's just one that I know of and I'm sure it's happened multiple other times. People don't usually broadcast failures.



Did you personally review all these friends resumes? It's not all about the flying part. Typical off the street hire at AA isn't a thing that really exists either.

All I will say is there are a ton of people at PDT who spout out this same "mommy or daddy" catch phrase like you are, while sitting on their hands and doing nothing to make themselves competitive. Throw around snide comments like this yet are just your standard line pilot, doing no volunteer work, not a LCA, not hustling for recommendations or networking. Makes me laugh

You should leave this whole knocking your coworkers thing at Piedmont by the way. No better than the guy who started this thread trashing the group you'll soon be in my friend.

But I'll say it all again: I've explicitly said multiple times that I'm referring to anecdotal observations. I have knocked no one. What I have done, however, is civilly discuss an observed pattern of newhires hired outside the flow and without criticism and to wit, I even included the caveat that there must certainly be folks out there that I'm unaware of that deviate from what I've observed. How could there not be, right? And you mentioned one yourself! Great. Thank you. I've also explicitly said on multiple occasions that I've got nothing against these folks. You read those parts, right? Because it doesn't seem like it. They are all good people who have found good fortune in their circumstances. I've hidden none of these sentiments. But, thank you all the same for your nice opinions.

You don't know the circumstances of many of these people who you're freely speaking about, yet you minimize their efforts to the simple catchphrase of "mommy and daddy". The connotations are plain and it doesn't take a genius to figure out what you're saying. You're working hard, and they simply found some good fortune. That's the message I'm getting.
