I would assume a pool since there haven't been any dec awards in the last award or two.

That's what I was thinking from the last couple bids/awards. If PDT runs into similar staffing issues that we did, the DEC won't get stuck in a pool. At this point who knows which call would come first.

No one is going to be "Stuck" at the regionals in 4-5 years.

There's plenty of undesirables that can never move on to real jobs. The hiring standards have been so lax for over a decade that we have lots of questionable characters flying around.

Genius!! I've got to woman-up aswell. Some women in the lesbian community look like men, you know... Short haircut, borderline mustache. All we need is some lipstick and eyeliner. Check mark Female on your next medical. Boom $100 investment and were going Straight to the Pros. Let's do this!

And if they deny your status....DISCRIMINATION LAWSUIT. Who needs s job at the majors when you're rollin' in dough? I've spent way too much time thinking about this.

Wow. RIght On. We as pilots are some of the most down to earth intelligent good spirited comedic beings. After the lawsuit, wipe that lipstick off, go back to the doc for another sex change prescription back to Male. And start a regional-wide 2 week strike. We all deserve to get paid well and have drop dead gorgeous wives.

It hopefully won't be an issue for you guys as it seems, after talking to friends there, your management team is much more forward thinking than ours.
