Hey Speedbird PM me the long version if you have time. As you know they just gave me a class date... maybe I won't like the same things as you? Thanks.

For some I'm sure it works out great. It's certainly not the worst situation, I just think AWAC might work out better, and like I said if it turns out the same then I haven't lost anything.

This is not a pop at you personally but we never did. There are probably 10-15 FO's that have been hired with that time and they came from collegiate aviation. (Not that I agree that they're any better)

We've lost a lot of guys to US/UAL/DAL/NWA but they've stopped hiring so our CA attrition is about to hit a wall. Because of this we've gone back to being a lot more picky about experience.

All the new FO's I've been flying with over the last 2-3 months have had at least 1000TT. Keep plugging away, you can never waste an hour in your logbook.

AWAC has typically hired for attitude, not experience, in the past couple years.
