If holding/diverting is as simple as a push of a button to him/her then obviously they have never EXPERIENCED the ****e hitting the fan. Experience brings humility. Human error accidents are usually due to complacency, not a lack of raw data flying skills.

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...

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..
