I'm going to assume yes since you seem to spend a lot of time trolling for kicks on APC.

What kind of people with prior 121 are washing out? It can't be harder than any other 121 training, if you put the work in it should be a non-event... A lot of work and probably stressful, but a non-event if you give the effort.

All jokes aside.
Just got a friend hired here..so here's the scoop..
Yes still doing phone interviews....
Gotta know someone on the inside or have a very good resume to get the call with no recommendation. (4 year degree from aviation school, plus ATP mins or ATP-R mins, no more than 2 busts, etc)
Lots of guys getting canned (or
given option to resign) during training, IOE or during first 6 months online. About 60-70% of guys are making it thru ground, system, and IOE.
So as guys have said before your interview is about 12 months, starting the first day of ground continuing all the way to the last day of being a probationary pilot.
Alvin Isaacs and Chuck Campbell are good good guys. Not the airline or chief pilots that were here four years ago.

When the cheerleaders resort to the, "You must've washed out".

I'm wondering if folks are coming in with a chip on their shoulder because of their previous 121 experience and think MAG will just be a cake walk.
