Also because callsign Fangs is obsessed with me and can't help himself to follow me around this board and troll me. So I'll punch right back at the weirdo every time.



Wow. This guy isn't even on the property yet, and he's saying the drop sucks and get out of my seat. The lack of respect is astounding. Pretty balsy for someone who doesn't even have an ID yet and is fairly easy to identify. CJOs have been pulled for less. I'm sure he'll be a joy to fly with IF he makes it to the line. This will be the newhire that b!tches for the entire rotation.

You certainly have a flair for the dramatic. I almost exclusively fly with newhires, including some stuck in the 717 who want a west coast base and not a single one complained the entire time, or much at all.

Well I hope you're right. It's moo for me, because I won't be flying with newhires any time soon. The days of newhires getting WB are long gone.

Now that the pilot shortage is ending, we are also going to see hiring critera restored to traditional norms where we were much more selective.

Back in my day you plumbed the 727, or if you were lucky flew the 88 or Delta Express 737-200s and were just happy to be here.

How would you do class drops?

I would do any logical order in the class. Age, number of hours, feats of strength....really any way other than via reverse last four or another seemingly random way to assign seniority (in the class).
