Trying to get ahead of all the pilot applicants are we?

Yeah, how DARE you try to get a paying job, in aviation, that might also be a foot in the door at a major.

The nerve...

I find this site amazing sometimes, I really do. Why is it that every time a guy asks a simple question here, they they end up having to defend themselves against the very question they asked? I hatched this question on the can this morning while scanning through the pages of bull**** arguments littered about. There's nothing nefarious going on here. Chill.

My question is in what way would they be LESS qualified or more of an unknown factor to the company, than say an off the street guy? Especially, if they have ample real world 121 experience as well? They've TAUGHT the procedures for years, they've passed a captains PC, they've WORKED with the training managers for years. So they decide that they want to join the line a couple years down the road? What's the big deal? Is this going to devolve in to a dues paying argument?

So far at LAA it has never happened. We do have LAA retiree's go to SIM-P jobs.

Guess somebody can't take a joke.

I know right? I bet those jetblue pilots are ****ed at the gateway program.
