Personally I think it's all about the individual regarding customer service which is what 91 guys are supposed to have over a 121 guy. I call bs on that myself. If flown with great guys in all three areas. As well as d-bags in all three.

No need for an "easy killer", I am just pointing at the humor in your post about corporate guys being at a disadvantage with getting on at a legacy/major. Any 121 guy that has tried to get his foot in the door without a good hook up in the corporate world has a serious uphill battle which obviously you are very aware of. "What type of corporate experience do you have?" has been asked many of times to me personally. Well none, but I spent years working high end customer service related positions. That seems to fall on deaf ears once the zero corporate experience bomb has been dropped. So yeah I am a 121 guy that has a proud back ground of customer service but as you called bs on, not being part 91 I can't get a look. No worries though, keep a good attitude and when something is meant to be it will all fall into place (I hope).

Sorry if you felt I was jumping on you with my statements. But you gotta find a bit of humor in a coprorate guy worrying about being at a disatvantage... Right? :D

I do see it. Flying airplanes is flying airplanes. Customer service is customer service. I wasn't offended and hopefully you weren't either. I argue your point to people in my own department. There are a lot of corp guys that can't stand the airline type, whatever the eff that is! Like I said, I think its all about the individual. If a director of aviation can't see that then you prob don't want to work for them.


Sorry if my reply came across as overly direct. I can't stand the 121-91 comments on incompatibility

The last update I got on Fri from the ord cp office was "a couple of months" Nothing too exact. From another source heard 2nd quarter of this year they will resume interviews.

Good to hear, are they still projected to hire 600 this year?
