You say that, but in the U.S. the Majors are still hiring based on how much time you spend down at the local soup kitchen and what your GPA was 20 years ago and not on your flying experience.

Not SWA. Not even remotely close.

Companies: we like to hire well rounded people who show empathy with others, build communities, and better themselves personally.

Well said. I think we (as a profession, not me) hide behind hats and double breasted jackets to distract from the fact that our job is doable by any retard with the ability to pay for training.

TOTD right here.... geez... While patting yourself on the back, too.

There’s something on your shoulder you might want to get checked out.

Or just hire the best pilots that you can get along with for four days in a metal tube.

It’s almost as if the actual flying is more trainable than attitude, cultural fit, empathy, and personal values.

The most technically proficient pilot doesn’t necessarily make the best contribution to the organization.

Oh Christ, if only there was a place in aviation for the white male.

It certainly doesn't help these days. I guess today's white male needs to pay for years of discrimination. That'll show all those people from the 60s who are now dead.

Wasn't a pilot during the lost decade, so I think you have me classified wrong. Still doesn't make me shake my head when I see people get passed over for having "too much experience"
