After the dust settles on my end a little bit I'm going to start one big thread dealing with a couple of the common scare tactics that people throw around the forums. They are really getting annoying.

Just a teaser: Before my interview with Eagle I was losing my mind because multiple people on this forum kept saying over and over that they HATE to see whiteout in your logbooks. I kept hearing about how people were sent home because of whiteout, etc.... Thanks for adding to an already stressful situation guys..

I get to the interview with some whiteout in my logbook that goes back to my student pilot days. I had a few corrections to make on the last few pages and instead of using whiteout I created new columns at the bottom of my logbook with the correct totals.

Guess what the interviewer said to me when he saw that? "Use whiteout!" I did a double take! He said it again, "Get whiteout or greenout. It's no big deal." End....Of....Story!! Yet some people on here had me losing my mind over this whiteout situation.

That is just the beginning. There is so much more misinformation tossed around that I just can't stand it anymore. Most of it is from people who THINK they are sure of something that they have no personal experience with. That is a slippery slope. Expunged arrests is another topic.

Like I said, I will come back next week sometime and debunk some myths I have seen around here.

Not true bud. I've delt with the both of them on a professional level. Both are stand up men. What have they done to you?

They are V.P's at AE and you believe they are not yes men, is that correct?
You believe they fight for you?
When was the last time you knew they had done anything positive for the pilot group?

I know they stand up, problem is for what.

Also last time there was a squeeze on pilot hiring, management told H.R. to disregard the captains board recommendations and hire them anyway. Another way to alleviate the problem, put yes men on the captains board.
