The counter argument would be, why would you keep your medical active if you weren't already employed?

 

Imagine the fact that some people still fly airplanes for fun and just might have enough time to hold an ATP license and chose to get one, without flying for a career.

 

I'm failing to understand what your getting at. AWAC, historically, has had zero issues attracting candidates. This is because our pay and contract is very good. I'm 2nd year and make more than nearly every other regional FO will max out at. I don't say that to brag at all, but rather we've never had issues in the past because of decent wages so I am very surprised by this move. Things are a lot tougher than they are leading us to believe here that is for sure.

I am sorry to hear the interview didn't work out. I know they don't have a sim portion anymore. If you would like I can try and talk with people I know and see if I can help. PM if you would like. I've been around this forum enough to get an idea of the type of person you most likely are. You seem like one of the few level headed guys on here that is well spoken.

Interviews are a pain. It's so subjective. Maybe you were nervous (who isn't) and maybe the team were having a bad day and they decide your not what they are looking for? It's dumb.

 

That database is based on getting a first class medical. Why get a first when a 2nd or 3rd will more than do the trick?

 

We all know better than most that you can trust the government not to lie to us. Those statistics MUST be correct.

For instance, we know that there chemtrails are 100% false - *wink* wink* - and the government always tells the truth. If they say that there are 140,000 ATP's, it must be true.

By the way, what was the proper discharge pressure for the mind control spray? Was it 18psi?

Currently in ATW for class, I was told for the next few monthes they cut down to one class per month, I guess within the last few weeks they had enough candidates where they added a last minute class that starts on Monday, just heard about it a few days ago but supposedly it has like 15 guys in it. i know they are still doing weekly hiring sessions in PHL and at job fairs as well.

 

Don't jump to conclusions. The only ridiculous argument is the current FO starting pay. People just can't afford to work for such low wages. Major airlines could stand to fork over a little more to keep the system running. They are able to supplement quite a bit from their expansive international system...as an example.

 

Where did you get your information that these guys are flying for Lufthansa? LH usually only hires people with German unrestricted work visas. EU passport and German ratings. German fluent.
