I honestly think it was harder to get on at Colgan in 2006 than it was to get on at Delta in 2022.

I hadn't thought about it that way but Yeah I think you're right.

My first regional interview was two days, with a sim check in a heavy four engine jet (me being a light twin MEI), and an astronaut physical on day two.

That 707 sim was cool… once I got out of it and passed that portion of the interview. We got lucky. They used to require poop samples for the astronaut physical 😂

True, I interviewed at AA in 1992 and they required a stool sample.
