[QUOTE=NotMrNiceGuy;3729406]I came here cause I wanted the best. I want to fly with the best pilots at 4 AM into Great Falls on a CAT III.
Really? I'd take sunny day visual. Its just a job and boring at that. Nobody wants to do a 4am approach to mins.

We've already hired from the bottom of the barrel over the past 3 years with the least amount of requirements in fedex history and no real increase in accidents. So future hiring won't be dependeng on being better than Delta's...or any other airline.

Probably should have gone to Frontier. They’re hiring 1500hr CFIs and will be paid $40/hr more than our 75 pilots.
