Turner has sporadically hosted The Hal Turner Show, usually on shortwave radio station WBCQ, since 2002, as well as a corresponding blog, which has changed URLs frequently and has spread hoaxes and fake news.”

No, I don’t think we’ll look around that website

Whatever happened to unbiased news networks? Everyone now fully trusts the slanted news programs (Fox/CNN) like trashy grocery store tabloid magazines that always talked about Bat Boy. This guy sounds like he has a custom, multi-layered tinfoil body suit.

Anyway, is there a new hire class tomorrow?

There are some relativelly unbiased outlets, or maybe you could say they have a centrist bias. WSJ, News Nation, etc. There are lists available.

Also not a bad idea to occasionally look at alternative view points.

Really, Rick? WSJ is owned by News Corp. Rupert Murdoch’s company. Same as Fox.

I don’t think there is a true unbiased news source left. Even reading between the lines is difficult with all the spin. The hardcore left and right media consuming people know that there is a ton of nonsense out there on some level. Is uninformed better than misinformed? I can’t watch it. Let me know if a hurricane is coming.

How many times have these crackpots said the world is coming to an end? Come up with a good answer because I want to make sure I’m home with my wife and dogs when it happens.

In better news, 65 new hires in todays class, and someone who wants to bring their dog to the indoc hotel is making waves on the FB pages 😂

Per the website it says preferred 1000 fixed wing turbine so yes. Always apply and update.

With the flood of ULCC pilots we have seen lately, that would be unlikely since you are completing against people with 10x+ that amount. That doesn’t mean don’t apply. Other aspects of your application may overcome the lack of experience (e.g. grad school, where you did your undergrad, volunteerism, etc.)
