No one, not one person, has ever said that.

But by all means, don't let that stop you and CA Angry.

It was pretty obvious that it wasn't meant to be taken literally. It was a statement to make a point. But don't let that stop you from dreaming about unicorns jumping over rainbows.

No, your comment was in point of fact a gross exaggeration in order to belittle someone else's point of view.

I get it...this industry has created thousands of habituated pessimists.

They will be the last one's to ever acknowledge a pilot shortage. Thus, they can not be reliably objective about one.

If anyone is still interested in deciding between the two, the CP at Compass announced we will be hiring 40 per month and upgrading 24 per month indefinitely. This keeps our upgrade time at a continuing low.

curious, does anyone know? Does both Skywest and Compass "PIC" Type rate the new hires? or do they just get the SIC checkout?

All 121 FOs are now required to get a PIC type rating. This is part of the new ATP regulation.

Ok, wow, didn't know that... is this why there is a higher fail rate that I'm reading about ... 20% ++ ? I guess they're mostly AQP now, right?

The increased fail rate is due to hiring anybody with a pulse vs being selective.
