You guys hired the “I’ll shoot you if we divert” FO despite your top tier psychological testing.

Pot meet kettle?

The psychological testing is a sham and your comparison is apples to oranges. You guys hired a head case who pulled an axe out of his car then proceeded to play “hero” in his own delusional mind. I guess with 16,000 pilots it’s only a matter of time before someone does something stupid.

A new hire asking a ridiculous question like that is just embarrassing and proves once again how low the standards have fallen in Chicago.

you truly belong at delta. Thank you.

No, thank Delta.

Triggered much?

Huh?! Threatening to shoot someone over a divert is far worse and he actually had a gun! Top tier candidate right thur. Proves how far the standards have fallen in Atlanta.

Tool.

If an airline decides they don't like you, they'll just fire you on probation. Other than performance issues, for it to happen between starting class and the end of initial training, they would have to discover someone lied on their application/background check or there would have to be an alcohol/drug incident or severe attitude issue. I've seen all happen at various airlines, but overall it's extremely rare.

Amen to that😀. This dude is such a tool! Always some that slip through the cracks - even though, in typical DL fashion, this DB acts like everyone at DL is an astronaut (brushes off someone pulling a gun in the cockpit). Good to see DL only hires the cream of the crop. You know... like this guy😂😂😂.

As a DL bubba with UA family, takes all kinds. This guy pole vaulted over the “friendly ribbing” thing and went straight to trash talk.

Like I said at Thanksgiving, we know we are better and we don't have to rub it in! (Kidding!)

No, that’s not how it works. “Your friend” would get to know the CPO/TK Management and HR better than most.

Of course, your friend’s lack of performance in training could be part of the conversation, if it’s in fact an issue. There’s a huge difference between being unable to perform in training and someone who’s out to get you.

A new pilot enjoys scrutiny by everyone in the probationary year, and it’s true not all probationary pilots make it to the end of the first year. However, in every case the invitation to leave (that I’ve heard of) was self imposed.
