And what airline hired you two years ago into a 121 cockpit the age of 19?

Because of Midwest management you're on the street. But don't worry, I'll be joining you soon.

...you still haven't said which CL65 operator hired you at such a tender age, or the experience level you had when hired that allowed you to have such disdain for Mesa AND RAH.

ok so I rounded up a month =)

Didn't know I was on the stand...

So what does my age have to do with my opinion towards these companies? and going by that, what does age have to do with anything?

I guess I'm not the only one scratching my head and wondering...

I just finished my 3rd year at XJT and I'm 22. So what? I had 1000/200 when I got hired. Why does age matter so much?

Ageism. "Oh they are young so therefore they are stupid and careless..."

I'm at ZW btw.

You're not on the stand...but you are the one that mentioned your age, and being so young when hired means there's a STRONG possibility (no guarantee, of course) that you had a fairly low amount of flight experience when hired into a 121 cockpit. As such, I'm trying to understand your background, so that we can know how & when you earned righteous indignation toward certain regional airlines prior to employment when such attitude is normally reserved for those who have a few years in industry.

Don't mistake me - congratulations are in order for you being so driven and getting hired so young, but I guess I don't understand why a 19 OR 20 year old would have such a superiority complex toward employment at RAH.

<nevermind, you answered as I was writing this that you're at AWAC>

Again, congrats...formerly #14493
