No job in this industry is universally acceptable to every pilot. It's evident from your post history that IFL or on-demand freight was not the right choice for you. Don't let your bruised ego declare a company that operates safely, pays fairly, and employs people who genuinely look out for one another unfit for all.

The Convair has a high failure rate, 50% is fair. The company is operating such old aircraft, company pilots struggle to adapt to the automation of modern aircraft when they move on. Do you honestly believe that if a guy got a job at a major, that the major is going to spend a week teaching automation? Other than the CRJ, the place is disconnected from the real world.

Disagree. I interviewed and was hired at a legacy recently. One third of the time in my HR interview was spent on the 727. The current pilot and retired pilot both flew it and loved talking shop. I think the "old stuff experience" helped tremendously.

I think I would much rather have someone who actually knows how to fly a plane, over someone who can push LNAV and VNAV. Air France ring a bell? Automation is something that can be taught. I guarantee if you take someone from a 787, and throw them in an A350, they won’t have the slightest idea how to work that aircrafts automation without some sort of teaching. When I was at Lakes, we had guys go straight to SWA, Alaska, Spirit, Frontier, United, FedEx, etc... granted they were at Lakes for 4-5+ years, but we flew with no autopilot or GPS. Clearly they weren’t concerned about the lack of automation
