Same. But, that’s not what I was asking. Someone said that some airline doesn’t ever hire anyone who has those issues. I’m just curious to whom he’s referring. I doubt he’ll say because we all know it’s not true. That’s all. Every carrier has a few problem children.

Most people far exceed the minimum standard. Perhaps if that standard were raised somewhat people who may not be cut out for upgrade would get weeded out early?

This has nothing to do with the Instagram hero thread though. We may find what he posts to be cringe worthy, but the guy did meet the standards and has been signed off as a 756 captain.

Well, except for the airlines that don't hire people who haven't proved that they can cut it.

3393415[/url]]This profession appears to have impacted you negatively, apparently. You sound like one of those guys that likes to complain about anything even if there is nothing.

You took what I said out of context. I never said the guy was a legend. I also never said major airline Captains are legends. I said that he/she who gets to this level and upgrades to Captain is a process considered a legendary accomplishment. And it is, without a doubt, exactly that. Unless you become a check airman, you’ve reached the highest level of airman.

Therefore, the act of finally getting to become a major airline Captain, as you retrospectively look at how much blood, sweat and tears went into getting there, is pretty legendary. That does NOT mean they are legends.

You, my friend, clearly lack emotional intelligence. I can’t believe I had to explain this to you.

Also, getting to a major and upgrading has nothing to do with luck. The only thing that I’d consider “luck” is getting this entire profession paid for by daddy.
