I’m sorry man I missed that other guys post (and no it’s not because of my zeal to defend Blue) I apologize I see you were just answering his question.
My bad.
Unfortunately I am very aware of or reserve issues but I did that to myself.

Anyway fine infect another thread I just find it a little low class.
Guys are just talking about an interview.

Again good luck guys in the interview.

I believe I only said guys are no longer asking me for help getting hired here. I used to get asked all the time. You telling me people are asking you for help as much now as they did 4-5 years ago?

The next logical question, after interview dates is... which airframe? Is 190 RSV in BOS still better than bus RSV in JFK?

You already got a face-to-face in by? How long after the video interview did they get in touch with you and when did you do the video interview

I think the experience between bases on reserve are pretty similar now. Been on the 190 for about 18 months and counting down the days until I can move to the Airbus. I would gladly fly a redeye over some of the 190 trips that are being built.

Man I don’t have any friends nobody asks me nothing, I like it that way

Also as you know the hiring environment changed. The “ugly girl” isn’t the only one at the dance so it’s not a perfect comparison.

All that is true, but we both know we have also fallen much further behind our peers in recent years and growth has slowed. And we're the fat ugly girl at the dance. And ATC. And hurricane. And IROP pants. And ATC. And deferrals. And ATC.

We should embrace these guys here now that are trying to get on that actually have some experience.

Wait a year and see what starts coming down the pipe.

Aside from the "former eagle capt" who couldnt identify frost on the wings... I've flown with some outstanding aviators. Mark my words, it's gonna get worse.
