I think you're missing the point 80kts...sure it's a great career, but we want to hire the best and brightest pilots then we treat them this way? when a regional and basically every other airline will pay for your hotel? doesn't add up. this is some old school BS from back in the day when people had to pay to get a flying job.
I found it to be something that I didn't really think about and certainly didn't get worked up over it. It sure hasn't dampened the amount of pilots applying. The day hiring was announced, I got numerous phone calls, texts, and facebook messages.

What applies to your specific situation ISN'T ALWAYS what applies to everybody else, is it?

True, but for a military pilot that didn't do a full 20 but may have come close, that pay hit could be more severe than a PCL CA's was. A frac/corp pilot who may have had a decent compensation but was always wanting to fly for a legacy could have taken a decent hit also.

Again, true. But you overlooked the point I made that reserve rules weren't always that great. Combined with a mentality that existed that a reserve pilot is always junior.
OK, I phrased it wrong. Can you deal with/get past it? Especially since I made reference to bojangles more accurately saying what I meant?

I agree. All I'm saying is it's not really something to make a mountain out of. It's a corporate policy, not a union thing, and none of us have a say in it.

Full accommodation, plus an elevated guaranty on pay plus per diem for the full term of the training event, as well as insurance from day 1.
IIRC, that was the reason behind the no health insurance for 6 months at CAL. it was a company wide corporate policy.

I'd be willing to bet that invites won't go out until at least later September or early October.

With airline apps now being the only way to apply, is the day of a high up recommendation that would get you an interview gone? I'm just curious how the very well connected (certainly not me) would go about getting the interview. I know back in the day it sure had to have happened that some higher ups could through your name in the hat and get your number pulled
Thanks

If a senior enough management type walks in to the hiring office and says,
"Hey, I'd really appreciate it if you took a look at this guy", then that guy is going to get a look.
