From: DOWNGRADE COMPLETE: Thanks Gary. Thanks SWAPA.
I don’t think the intent is to “teach someone basic airmanship” skills. It’s just to talk about what went right, what could have been done better, and what are some of the many techniques that could have helped get the job done. And this feedback applies to CAs just as it does FOs. I’m pretty sure most of you will agree that the perfect flight is pretty elusive for everyone and there are plenty of times all of us could have done something better.
Also, it takes time to learn the nuances of a new plane. Every CA here has at least 4,000-5,000 hours in the 737 and I’m pretty sure most of you can see and recognize the bigger picture more so than someone with far less 737 experience than you. You don’t have to tell anyone how to fly the plane (unless they are being stupid or non-standard)….but a 60-90 second friendly chat after a flight can help everyone learn and get better. The same rule should apply in a debrief as it does any other time: don’t be a Richard and the message will likely be well received. All of us get a little stronger, less Ops Days, less paperwork, and we all fly better over time and protect our amazing profession.

Just checking in to shed some light. Interviewed in late Sept and still haven't heard back. I had some internals do some digging (I just figured it was a TBNT) but according to hiring they are slightly backed up.
not sure if there is any credence to this but apparently PRIA and background is only good for so long so until they have a concrete class projection some are in a holding pattern...
At this point hope for the best but prepare for the worst 😅.
Hope this helps any guys hanging on with no EFC time...

All I know is the presentation and tour was fantastic. You guys/gals should be proud of that place.
I feel like I did a great job in the interview but you never know.
