There are some really good FOs that are coming through the doors; humble, hard working, with a good attitude. Oh the other hand, the privileged, arrogant and cocky attitude guys are getting through as well. Some have a tendency to have a right seat Captain disposition. There are some exceptions, but imo, some of the best guys in terms of attitude, professionalism and leadership have 135 or prior 121 experience. I'll just leave that right there...
Dear newhires, keep in mind we are a crew, a team, here to service the flying public in the most professional way possible. A good attitude about the job we all signed up for helps get this done. Remember, most of the Captains that you'll fly with have more taxi time than you have totoal time...stay humble my friends.

Because you learn to recognize it all a hell of a lot quicker when you manually plan every arrival instead of VNAV to an ILS. Not to mention the fact that you have to control airspeed on an approach. Not saying one is more difficult than another, but the CRJ is a better step for a former CFI. I've seen what product is produced by either airplane and you can't even compare the difference.

Seems like there is a lot of resentment around here towards people who built hours the CFI route. Is that just a Skywest specific thing, or industry wide?

I came from that route and I haven't gotten flak about it. I think if you have a good attitude you won't run into problems. Most guys probably won't even care where you came from. I think they're just saying some of the bad apples tend to be from that side, which makes sense. Other 121 guys probably get it and don't come in entitled. Just my guess?

I prefer to fly with former CFI's who have a good attitude even if they're still figuring things out. Attitude is key.
