Meanwhile back at the ranch DAL keeps code sharing away all of their future international growth prospects:

ALPA leadership are so stupid it's not even funny. Their airline management have them chasing their tails with Norwegian and the ME3 all while the real threat to their future is taking place right in front of their eyes without them realizing it.

Bingo! You broke the code. Look at DAL's aircraft buying pattern. Ya, Ya, 787's, 350's, tri 7's.... see any?

Would think the majors would consider the NAI pilots, if nothing more than to disrupt their pilot supply and to cost more in training.

Not all that apply to the "majors" are fortunate to make through the selection process. Thus there may be a chance to get on with a carrier to gain experience on large transport aircraft. Then there may be hopes of being hired with a major carrier upon reapplication. At the end of the day, for the foreseeable future, there won't be a "supply disruption" on either side of the fense.

Got a cold call a few weeks ago from a recruiter named Tamara in the UK. Didn't know what it was about until she told me they were recruiting for NAI on the 737MAX.

Maybe they are struggling to find people? For the record, I've never applied there and don't have any interest in being involved in that outfit... Sounds like they resurrected my resume from a few years ago. Come to think of it my resume was floating around PARC and Rishworth back when I was interested in flying in China. That's the only place I can think of that might have it.

Please don't flame me, just passing along information.

Concorde crashed because it blew a tire which subsequently cause the fuel tank to rupture after it ran over a piece of F.O.D. deposited on the runway by a Continental Airlines DC 10.
If it had been a British Airways Concorde the outcome would have been identical.

There are enough "alternative facts" out there as it is. No need to add to the garbage pile.

Its true that pilots in the U.S. have much more time than their European counterparts when they're starting out, especially since the 1,500 hour ATP rule but the EASA ATPL consists of 14 separate written exams, mandatory classroom hours and multi crew cooperation training in a full motion simulator.

The First Officers over there maybe less experienced but they are very well trained. The FAA ATP written is a joke in comparison.

How did the classroom hours and 14 written exams fair when the chips were down on an A330 over the Atlantic with unreliable airspeed?

Did one of the exams cover what to do when you have +/-10KIAS buffer at FL370?

Continuous full aft sidestick input is the answer, right?

A European trolling that the those 14 exams have anything to do with competent pilot skills is funny. I have trained pilots from all over the world for well over two decades and I can very comfortably say that the obsolete theoretical knowledge needed to pass those 14 written exams does not translate to a European pilot being any better than an American who passed the FAA ATP written.
