It seemed to him the FO on the selection board was somehow bent or confused over how his mil-competency to civilian ratings worked. Almost ****ed off he was able to get it through military training while the FO had 100k plus, in student loan debts from UND to get where he was at.

No big deal. He was hired by Skywest and it's most definitely 9E's loss.

Hell no. Let them shoot themselves in the foot. Let's bring the flying back to mainline.

Don't leave. I get a chuckle every time your avatar pops up.

10 777-300s
Some number of 787-900s
Some surprise unannounced smaller jet orders.
Hiring gazillions. Plenty of 717 LCA $$$ making opportunities.
Contract openers shortly.
Plenty of time behind the door.
FTB charts
Boomer finally gets hired and you give him his oe.
Timbo bangs that girl from titanic
A little bit of snarky gun fighting amongst the ranks.

Think of APC as dessert, not serious business.

But, it's not a Pinnacle interview, it's a Delta interview.

Pinnacle is just where they go to "pay their dues"

Right? :confused:

For what it's worth to the discussion:

If I'm not mistaken -- and maybe someone can help me out -- my first two contracts at NWA were upside contracts.

The strike year 1998 & the post 9/11 contract.

(I guess it depends on what you define an upside contract to be.)

After careful examination I think you will find Panama is being well represented. [Not there is anything wrong with "Ticas"]

I know exactly who you're talking about!! He is a real piece of work. One of the angriest pilots we have. When I heard he was on the interview team I was totally shocked.
