They only paid 5 hrs IF you broke 70. I did them for "free" all the time under our old POS contract. ;)
I believe Hoss is spot on. Look for an increase in SC and FSB. THere are guys on RSV next month that haven't seen RSV in 10 years! Once they get a taste, some will bite on a vacancy. Others know the drill and will wait it out for a bump to the left seat.

I have no idea what this means.....

It comes down to experience. Most UAL FOs have not been captain on anything in the past 12 years. Most of the CAL pilots have been a captain either at CAL or at a regional within the past 7 years.

Which pilot do you want making captain decisions?? The one sitting around and comfortable in the right seat and is getting old or the young guy that has recent PIC experience.

Ask passengers this question....

We have now gone to a merit based system, finally. In this case I will be chief pilot soon.

Can someone please explain to me how this guy made it through the hiring process and then training?

I'm being completely serious. I may not be the best pilot on the planet, but I like to think of myself as a competent pilot that can handle almost any situation. I'm not cocky or arrogant about it. I fly planes, then I go home and enjoy my great life with my wonderful wife. That's it. I like to think that I'm an okay guy to sit next to on a 4-day trip....but for the life of me I can't seem to get called for the interview.

When I read the garbage that IAH posts I can't understand HOW this guy made it through the process. No offense, but I don't care what seat you're sitting in, by the end of a 4-day trip I would be reaching over and wrapping my fingers around his neck.

Unbelievable....

As with all pilot groups there are 10% that make you go....huh?

The reason is that you can't see the sarcasm in my original post.

My 17 year old daughter has a greater maturity level than you. I'm sure you are a real joy to sit next to in the cockpit.

Staller/Carolsdanger/JohnHale got banned 3 times in the last 9 months for the same type of $s IAH is posting. For good reason, for sure. I would have banned him sooner.

IAH is the ugly twin brother from another mother.

If I click my heals 3 times, will one of the moderators jump in?
