Hi!

No shortage? Then why would a regional hire a guy without interviewing him, and they knew didn't have a commercial license yet? When I applied to the regionals the first time, I had my ATP-MEL, and I got a letter saying I didn't meet the minimums.

Why would an intn't airline offer a guy 777 captain off the street when they knew the guy had no widebody and no oceanic experience? Previously, this airline only hired capts off the street that were type-rated and had experience.

Shortage?
 

There is always a shortage of people who will work for free and take a ration of abuse at the workplace. Right now there is a shortage of workers to pick apples.

But I wouldn't stand below and hold the ladder and tell the guy picking the apples what a crap job he has and he'll never get anywhere doing it. Especially if all I did was hold the ladder and didn't get the chance climb up to top where the apples were. Maybe the view is better up there.

Guess they will have to pay more $$ to attract Apple pickers

Hi!

So a job flying a 777 paying $160K, with housing, schooling, and transportation provided is a crap job?
