Tell me about it… a legacy passenger airline widebody FO qualifying for public assistance the first year. I’m surprised that in 2021, both sides aren’t ashamed.

I really think the interview process here works. I am not sure what the secret sauce is but we end up with the best. I hope that can continue as the upgrades become more and more of an issue.
