I'm against flows because it doesn't give an airline a chance to vet through the bad personalities, the guys who make this job harder than it has to be and are just plain annoying to fly with. Ask yourself, you know who these guys are, would you really want them at Delta.

You do remember that over 1500 pilots at the current 9E were never hired by Pinnacle, right?

It's not a broad brush, it's true. The regionals have a very low hiring standard compared to majors. You can look at the acceptance level of intervieews at majors versus regional. You can look at the percentage chance of being called at a major versus a regional. It's a night and day difference. The interview process is also different. I never said anything bad about the good guys. My point oaths legacies should be able to weed out the bad flying personalities.



Go away ShyGuy, spend some more time with your family instead of commenting on Pinnacle threads. Your posts add nothing constructive or thought provoking to the discussion.

The secret is to pretend all the TV screens have failed and just fly the back up instruments. It may not be a full six pack, but at least you'll feel comfortable.

No, but his wife enjoys his forum time.

Shyguy would hate if Pinnacle was added to Delta seniority list. This would make his move to VA seem a litte less special.
