SD has talked out of both sides of his mouth concerning every aspect of this operation. Case in point, 330 crew rest facility is NOT a safety issue. Grain of salt his quotes.

Yet strangely enough virtually everything they have put out since 2012 has been spot on accurate. What would be his point in making that statement and lying? I have been trying to get a bunch of guys interviews. Military and part 121 experience. All over 4500 hours mostly turbojet with masters degrees. Two from the zoo. No luck. They don't seem to be hurting in the least for good applicants.

What would you expect him to say?

"Yeah, well we're hiring folks from the lower pool. Not as good as we'd like but they'll have to do."

SD sits across the table during these negotiations. His position is what "Ask Ed" tells him to say. They'd hire graduates from the Shanghai Flight Academy for pennies if they could. Holy cow, you did union work?

I'm in no way questioning new hires quals. I would expect them to be outstanding considering the hiring process. Simply pointing out that some have left for what they consider a better career. Going to Fedex would be an above average in headwork.
