He never flew in the USAF.

The LOA will be voted on! What part of that don't you get? I'm not a big fan of the Teamsters but don't spout ignorant garbage or trash a person without laying out the facts! It makes you look lazy and foolish.

I second that. I read a bio that said he was an IP in the Air Force.

How long is ground and sim training? An old coworker that left our 135 world for Chautauqua said it took him almost 2 months after Indoc to finish. Is this typical here? My last type from flightsafety only took 3 weeks.

2-3 months is normal for any 121 carrier from Indoc through IOE.

Ask some of the Midwest guys that know him if he ever flew C-141's. Turns out the unit he claimed to fly in didn't actually have any pilots in it that had heard of him.

Any relation to the kid from Eagle that claimed to be a fighter pilot, firefighter, cop, green beret, shuttle commander, etc? How's that awesome new contract?

What do you think ? I know I will have a paycheck next month, other than that everything is a game in this airline. Keep your expectations low, if something good happens expect two more bad things to happen. Welcome to the airlines
