You don't have to fly arrivals into DTW to recognize intersections, during my time as a 'double I' I spent countless hours staring at the low alt enroute chart... definitely could have recognized any fix in Vermont. My bad for 'projecting' my experience I guess.

You are far superior airmen to me then.

Also, Not all fixes are depicted on low alt or high alt charts an example would be these two.

I agree, its pretty stupid isn't it....APC is becoming more and more like FI everyday!!

While startling, very true. I'll pass my judgement on the WMU situation until after I fly with some of them. I'll give em benefit of the doubt from the start that some of the 5% are vocal and with a poor attitude. Beyond the boards I have only heard good things from APD's and LCA's about the guys.

Huh no kidding... my bad.

My sentiment towards arrogant 141 types that don't even realize the limitations of their training environment still applies, however. I'm really not a super-aviator type... part 61, part 141, wet commercial multi, I'm not the sort to rant on any of this. I just have a problem with the 'no interview' thing.

The justification that you can weed the bad apples out after the fact doesn't hold up in the real world environment of unions, lawyers, and professional courtesy. It takes a mountain of paperwork to get rid of anyone. Know what is a lot easier? An interviewer saying "wow that dude creeps me out" or "wow he sure thinks highly of himself."

I agree, I can't believe there is no interview. Seems like unneeded risk on the part of the company

Have the APD's and the LCA's even gotten their hands on them yet? I'm in the 2/28 class. We are just now starting sims. There aren't any WMU guys in my class. The first class with WMU guys is the one that comes back from MSP on Monday.

Your 9E? What is the hotel for training?

Hotel California - located on a dark desert highway - where you can checkout anytime you want, but you can't ever leave (until your 65 years old and retire).
