Gee,
B.H.FR8 D.

let's see, I think I'd rather have a 5 yrs, 3,000 hrs. EMB or CL pilot who spent his/her career flying out of DEN, ORD, or LGA,
than a RMA career B-52, C 135, P-3 etc. with 3,000 hrs, 300 to/land. and a butt load of powerpoint lectures sitting in the right seat!

Humbly, I would say that if this was the case, then the company is missing out on one of the best new pilots we've got going on so far.

Why's that? Nothing difficult about flying big airplanes. Atlas is actually the easiest flying I've ever done.

Although it could be said that HR sometimes has a little too much say at times, they STILL serve a purpose.

You can teach any ********* to fly a plane. But an airline can't un-teach someone from being an ********* to fly with. Nor do they have the time/inclination to do so. Doesn't matter what/where they flew previous.

Maybe I missed the sarcasm, but we should keep the military vs. civilian battle out of this thread. Each bring their own strengths and weaknesses and I think Atlas is stronger for having a good mix. You may want someone with a lot of experience with busy US airports with you when operating out of busy US airports, but it also pays to have someone with you who has been to the middle of nowhere with little-to-no ATC and no company support. We each have something to learn from the other.

We learn the most from those who are different from ourselves.

In other news, probably a class in mid-May and beginning of June.

I was off a week on the last guess though.
