I don't know about the XJT bit, but according to people who know he actually DID have one hell of a resume.

Took an inheritance and got himself just about every kind of type rating; Helicopter, Seaplane, etc etc. Honors society in school, tons and tons of community service of all kinds. Incredibly smart and incredibly polite...

This coming from those who actually reviewed his resume and helped with his interview prep...

Thats impressive and all but I still dont think hes a better candidate than many of my friends with thousands of PIC time in heavy A/C flying all over the world who have been trying to go there for the past decade.

anyway, good for him, thats great.

They have volunteered, they have run their own businesses, they have attended every job fair DELTA has had etc.. They are genuinely great people. So, like I said, great for the 23yr old but he certainly isnt the only one who can check off multiple boxes. Anyway, it doesnt matter, it is what it is. Good for him.

now back to Contract talk etc..


(Wouldn't it be nice if we had out own section on APC?, aren't we larger than Hawaiian? and have more active threads? Why the hate on Spirit by the MODS? )

Gotta love airline pilots voting Republican. And then beotch a storm when they can't get a contract and go off on the RLA. It's a fact: of the two party political system, one party has been historically anti-labor and the other party for labor. When it comes to organized labor, MAGA means voting Democrat.

Only one side is utterly convinced the other side wants to take your guns away

Anyway, not to get into a political debate, the original comment was in regards to organized labor and the RLA, which are appropriate for the forum.

While you are entitled to your opinion, that opinion is factually incorrect. The two party political system has nothing to do with the specifics of the RLA. The RLA governs everything that is done when negotiating airline labor contracts. You comments were two-fold, with one being irrelevant to the other. And if your assessment was correct, then why is it that a DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT halted a strike at American in '97?

But it still matters. Who do you think appoints the top members of the NMB?
