Do your due diligence. We've been merciful to a fault with some, and we've been petty and punitive to others. Keep your head down and move the freight will get you promoted into whatever spot you want. If you're at a point in life where you're tired of being quiet, wait til you are off probation.
It's like any other job you've had.

I was not talking about your friend. I don't know about his situation. He could well have been handed a raw deal.
Glad you spoke up about this. I don't want to throw shade where it isn't intended.

I was trying to say that this is basically a normal job with ups, downs, good and bad. My point about keeping one's head down was for people thinking of coming here.

What's the worst that happens? Just keep expectations realistic. We have 13k applications on file right now.

I don't know his situation. Sounds sensitive enough that I wouldn't want to hear about his details online. If he's prepared to talk about whatever he has going on he may as well apply.

Not the first time I've heard something along those lines.
If it happens to you, call 911 immediately. You can get help for the SO, and eventually get her back with the kids but if you don't make the call it can easily turn into the man gets the blame, which will be Game Over for an airline pilot. The system is spring-loaded to blame you, not her. I know a guy who got saved only because his six-year old daughter was very mature, made a very credible witness, and somehow managed to make the right choice and tell the truth in a very tough spot. BTW the cops and DA tuned out the daughter's testimony, they took the easy SOP: blame the dude. It got sorted out in court, and took months. All would have been avoided if he had made the call immediately.

I'm not sure of the law in their state is, All I know is the kids were protected by the pilot involved and there was no harm done, or attempts towards the kids,

Business casual is correct. I believe they allow jeans and a polo on the weekend, can’t remember. Bring a suit and tie for your type ride.
