“Vastly superior”-no, just more professional.

You might have a point there. But one professional aviator can sit across from another professional aviator and figure out within about 10 minutes if he could fly with that person for a month—all things being equal

If you will look back a few posts you will see that I said the interview started out that way. The professional aviator that did the HR portion was top notch.

The other 2 fumbled the ball.

What’s the training footprint like and are you paid at the captain rate through training if hired as a DEC? Also company says 6 months to hold Miami after the completion on training. Does that still hold true?

Anyone’sguess but bidding to Mia or ord has been fairly consistent but that could easily change with the fresh wave of mid to late 2016 hires upgrading en masse

Expect endless reserve at any base as a DEC

Does any know how many DEC capts were in the July 30th class? Did they all go to LGA?
