If you were hired at 9E prior to June 3 2021, all you need to do is be a CA (so, just finish OE) and you're eligible to flow. If you were hired after June 3 2021, you need 24 months of CA service to be eligible.

We are turning good pilots away for specious reasons, then scraping the bottom of the barrel for even more inexperienced pilots who may manage to squeak through the hoops just because of luck and paying for the right prep. It doesn't make any sense.

Buddy in a recent class swears there was a guy with no turbine, just piston time. I wasn’t sure but with Frontier and maybe spirit as well hiring 1500 hr MEIs, and the fact that we’ve basically absorbed the majority of regional feed, it makes sense that we’ll hire those destined for the regionals over here now.
I’d say that’s a success in the grand scheme of things with respect to bringing RJ flying in house and getting rid of the regional model.

I'm not sure this is true, but if it is, maybe they should keep the experience requirements where they are, but get rid of the stupid "assessment" with brain games and a Kobayashi Maru psych test at the end, and the antiquated shrink interview that sends great candidates who have multiple CJOs to a PARB purgatory because one person "had concerns" which probably have nothing to do with being a good airline pilot.

The "cog testing" and personality test on the assessment add nothing. It's just a hoop to jump through. The psychologist interview has a long history of falsely flagging people. The 90% PARB pass rate would appear to be a testament to that. We are in a world where most of the good candidates have multiple CJOs and if Delta slaps them with an unknown "maybe", they are just going to go to United. Maybe you'll say "good, then they didn't REALLY want to work here anyhow", but my response would be glad you're not a recruiter.
What would make sense if they are truly strapped for good candidates is, as I said before, keep the minimum requirements high and eliminate the unnecessary hurdles. They could divert those resources to making the actual interview more thorough. The 550+ question MMPI test should be more than sufficient if they need a psych portion.

I stopped reading right here, this is rich coming from you. Considering you are one of the kings of hyperbole, sarcasm, and trying to put down anyone that disagrees with you. And always an attack with ME? Again, real rich.
