Wow, if he ****ed off Doris he deserve what you got. She was like a den mother to us. That was about a $5mil plane ticket. Did they let him resign for fire him?

While we're on this application topic, does anyone know of a good university GPA range that Delta prefers? Maybe a cutoff? Thanks.

I work for a large 135 operator on a closed charter, membership-based contract.
I have to wonder if anyone with a purely military/airline background understands what is involved in working for some of the upper tier 135 gigs (NOT the 134.95 operators), ESPECIALLY if you are a standards/instructor, line check airman, supervisor, etc. I have to think not... |

Interesting... seeing as how the KC-135/C-130 guys in my new hire class struggled the most, the regional guys have the highest rate of being let go from training/probation and the fighter guys seem to work the hardest (with the heavy guys).
Interesting on top of interesting. What are the reasons folks aren't making it through training or being let go/probation busts? This should be a thread all unto itself...... Love the mission mindset of the fighter guys and the want-to to learn. Love the situational awareness and instrument skills of regional guys. Love the team work skills of the heavy guys. |

No, Doris told him to keep his hands off the thermostat.
AND...all that for St. Louis? Seriously? I hope she was hot. |
Mainly attitude problems. Can't find a way to get along with the Capt. Or telling him he's not doing it right....talking to the flight office, a lot....highlighting yourself with management. Their patience with attitude is getting short. Even with pro standards intervention. I hate to stereotype, but millennial attitudes are not helping.
Keep a low profile. |

Why waste the time of a mentor or pro standards when the flight office is, like, right there? ;) |

Why waste the time of a mentor or pro standards when the flight office is, like, right there? ;) This is serious business and I do want to make it clear to any new hires that may read this, please, please, do not make your first call to the flight office, for almost anything. Think ALPA first. Any problems you may have, question, issues, ALPA and the mentoring program should be in your first thoughts. Our management historically, has not been very pilot friendly. It is getting better in some domiciles, but why take the chance? You will have a long career. Domicile flight ops management does take note of everything you communicate to them, for good or bad. They are not looking to fire people. They have spent money on getting you hired and up to speed. But there are still lots of applicants in the pond--and probationary pilots are vulnerable to firing without cause. Cull the problem children and heard early, if necessary. Ya'll be careful out there. |
