Just curios, but of those demographics that were hired summer summer 2010, how'd those numbers look?
That's a given and never been in dispute. Hence the conversion factors, etc. |

If you couldn't get your PIC time before fulfilling your obligation in the military, tough. Go to a regional like everyone else and pay your dues. Someone flying for a brand should have a path to that brand before a military pilot, especially one without PIC time. |

Contray to popular belief, the leading LCC carrier and freight carrier never had a problem filling spots pre 9/11. They also didn't have their "place to be/holy grail status" at that time either. I've ALWAYS thought they're good jobs, but if you took a poll the general pilot populace back then, many didn't see it that way. If a guy in the crew room just mentioned he had a class date at either the usual dipsh1t ignorant response was either "you know DAL/UAL/AA/USair is hiring, right?" or "what's the matter, screw up your interview at DAL/UAL/AA/USair?" |

On this point you couldn't be more wrong. Anyone who has served their country for any amount of time honorably has paid more dues than 99.5% of the rest of Americans.
USMCFLYR But the overall pilot mentality (regardless of background) of "I paid my dues doing (insert whatever here) so I'm entitled to a job" is something that seriously needs to go. |

I think the majority of the people out there would rather go to the DAL/UAL/USA/AA/B6/etcetc than the above. |

I recently had a Delta captain (ex-Marine pilot) tell me he didn't know what an ILS was when he was hired at Delta. This $hit has got to stop. |
