This is why airlines like spirit, JetBlue, even United hire low time young kids through gateways, because these candidates don’t understand anything about the history of the airline business. So you see a 26 year old with 3000 hours goes to B6/United over a regional guy with 6000 PIC because they know the young kid will be an obedient employee.
This is what all the hiring like Frontier’s flow from ATP flight school and JetBlue’s gateway is about. Obedient YES voters in future employees. Kool aid drinkers. And behold the results.
Great observation! We’ll said!Originally Posted by bamike
I worked alongside pilots that are coming through the university flight schools in various gateway programs/flows. There is a reason airlines like United are running their own flight school. The candidates they bring in are 100% dedicated to the company and will do whatever they are told. The vast majority come from customer service backgrounds (flight attendant, retail, etc) and are screened for their adherence to company beliefs and "purpose". These are people with low critical thinking skills, which is exactly what the company wants.This is why airlines like spirit, JetBlue, even United hire low time young kids through gateways, because these candidates don’t understand anything about the history of the airline business.
