Great woke you up from under your bridge...

Nobody is trying to but I’ve made the choice to wait it out.

Terrible was a little dramatic but meaning we are losing good people I’d prefer to spend the rest of my career sharing a seniority list with.

Nah, he's to busy looking for clean drinking water and food that won't give him three weeks of the $#!t$.

Flying with August new hire, he was great, but told me 70% of his class failed either the oral or the check ride. My class in 2013 there was one pair asking for an extra sim, and no failure. He said a few of these people had been fired from regional initial. We just had a tail-strike on a first ioe flight. This is honestly scaring me because most of them made it to the line, and will eventually upgrade.Very depressing to see...

Someone showed me a pic of the APU area all bent up on a 320. No idea how that happened. I saw the pic like a month ago...

I believe it was on takeoff at LGA about a month ago.

Doesn't Spirit have an online Aptitude/Psychometric Test and after passing it are invited for an interview?
If yes, then how are they able to pass the Aptitude and Psycho Test but fail during training?

I honestly don't know what they do for selecting pilots, but I think it's just a phone interview, no other tests...

I don't know if they do now but they did have one. That said I don't see how an aptitude test has anything to do with making it through a training program.

Was that new hire or upgrade OE? I've heard conflicting stories.
