Its not true. Maybe 500TPIC but the only people there with low time are the ATI's. Everyone i have seen or met thats been hired was a Captain somewhere or at another major carrier prior to coming to NWA. FWIW

I heard a couple went their just after college. just what i was told from a friend who went to school with one of them.
I dont know but we had a previous ATI in my class who ended up leaving his ATI position so he could build his time up to get hired. He went a flew 747s for a couple years then got hired. So i dont know what the people your talking about had as far as time goes but this guy has thousands of hours and lots of heavy international time.FWIW |
The ground school instructors do not get breaks on the required mins. They have to apply, and interview for a pilot position just like a guy off the street. There are many ATI's who do not meet the mins for NWA, which is why they have to go get a flying job if they want to move on.
