Pilots are so pedictable.

Well EF, some of us are just in disbelief of the new hire's arrogance in the alleged rhetoric.

I hope all is going well with you.

Fixed it for you ;)

I guess that new hire doesn't realize that if it weren't for all of the deferrals, he/she wouldn't be a new hire.

EF, you of all people shouldn't be pointing fingers at others getting upset over inaccurate descriptions of their particular employee group. APF is chock full of EF novels tackling the ever-maligned Eagle flows...

FWIW his numbers are way off. We had 25 in my class. 27 was probably the youngest. I was 40 and was #11 out of 25 in age. Everyone had turbine PIC. The military guys had the lowest total time but even we came through the door with well over 3,000 hours and plenty of PIC and IP time.

Obviously. Otherwise APC wouldn't exist.

An excerpt from a letter circulating among junior AA pilots, written by a 4/14 LAA newhire.

"To give you some background that may not have occurred to you, US Airways has been hiring since late 2010. In fact, prior to December 9, 2013, they hired approximately 750 pilots – all but 50-70 of which were hired under the pre-greenbook contract. The demographics of those pilots – median age of hire was 27, expected to go to the right seat of an Embraer (no other legacy airline flies group 1 aircraft currently). Most came from the right seat of a regional as they could not recruit many of the highly qualified applicants that held out for American. Median hours of new hires were 1800-3000 total time with minimal, if any, pilot in command time. The demographic of the Legacy AA new hires from October 2013 until the hiring process was streamlined in August 2014: median age 40-45, expected to go the right seat of group 2 or group 3 aircraft at an airline that had not hired since 2001, with 6000-10000 median hours total time and 2000-4000 pilot in command hours. The apples to apples comparison of new hires didn’t occur until August 2014 when new hires for both groups went through one hiring and selection process."

It was signed.

How do you get a median total time that has a range of 4,000 hrs(6,000 to 10,000)?

Aren't 87% of all statistics false? And the other 32% are made up?
