Haters gonna hate, yo. Hate the game, not the player.
You can’t be mad at a kid who took advantage of a program offered by the company. This whole thread reminds of that joke......what’s the difference between a b!tch and a wh0re? This kid works here now and will have 42 year career. Look at the top of our list today, the sub UA ‘78 hires are sitting at about that longevity. How much crap to you give them? The smart money is on lifting this kid up, teaching him about labor’s past, and making a strong unionist out of him. Like it or not, he’s going to carry the torch to 2060. Shun him (and other young pilots) or teach them, that’s on us. |

Yup.
So you’re telling me this kid is more qualified than a career mil guy who just isn’t current? |

Apparently he met min standard which probably includes being current.
If true, he met THAT min standard, but not OTS min standard. |

No, and there’s no point losing sleep over this. Also a high-ish timer when hired here. The company hires plenty of retired mil, 10-15k+ hr regional people, etc. Every single company also takes some low time, young pilots. The only thing we can hope is they vet them well.

1500 hours total fixed-wing time as pilot-in-command (PIC) or second-in-command in multi-engine turbo-prop A/C or jet A/C or combination thereof (GTOW 12,500). A minimum of 1000 hours total fixed-wing pilot-in-command in multi-engine turbo prop A/C or jet A/C or combination thereof (GTOW 12,500 or greater) is preferred Minimums: -ATP -1,500 fixed wing PIC/SIC multiengine turbine (at least 1,000 of which is PIC preferred) |

Had his Dad in the jumpseat. Nice guy, told me how hard his son worked to get here. I’m happy for the kid but that comment made me throw up in my mouth a little....

23 and no jet time and no experience is just flat out dangerous.
