No sometimes it’s about throwing someone a rope when they fall overboard so they don’t drown. Isn’t it?

Why not? They’re exactly the ones legacy management wants. Don’t care about unions, and when offered money for themselves in exchange for scope.... will say yes since it benefits themselves.

Not to be obtuse... but I don’t understand your analogy.

Is this an attestation, to which you have facts to back your statement, or are you seeking approval from the adults?

Exactly, these guys are basically the bottom of the barrel. At my airline, pilots hire the pilots. Will they hire NAI pilots? Probably when their are no more half descent regional pilots left. I imagine most legacies will probably be taking the regional guys with DUI’s and other criminal charges before hiring NAI pilots in big numbers. Keep in mind, we want to hire pilots other pilots will get along with. Willing to undercut the guy next to you doesn’t really make friends.

Background, criminal checks, local and state and other law enforcement checks, let alone the dedication it takes to write 14 exams. I’m sure

his current airline’s pilot all discussed, deliberated, and by unanimous consent, said this is the guy we need!

Thank you for the laugh. Chap? How old are you? Anyway, glad to hear this cancer on the airline industry is getting ready to die. Don’t worry, the pilot shortage is right around the corner. I’m sure NAI pilots will be hired elsewhere once there are no more qualified regional guys/gals to hire.
