I think that LOA isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.


They’ve hired quite a bit of our guys so can’t be the company in that regard without the program.

But until we know more about it who knows. Still in the dark.

Negative.

What it will help on your resume is with the type rating though. Also the more type ratings you have, the better
Also Negative... The stand out type rating, although not required, is the 737. At the end of the day, its all about the verifiable alpha numerical data on that 8 1/2 X 11 CV is that will cause your phone to ring, or that email to be delivered to your inbox for the interview.

It's time for the pilot group to take a stance and refuse to fly A WIDE BODY when even the 737 rates are wayyyyyyy below industry average. YOU are a professional pilot, YOU deserve better.

I hope you don't work there because that exact attitude is what needs to change.
