Irrelevant. And since you just learned what an ad hom actually is and had to face the fact that you didn't have squat of an argument, this is the best you could do.

I don't know how I can make my argument (more of a question, really) any more clear. Just read what I posted and decide for yourself if it's all ad hom.. I have no problem coming after billy personally, but I thought my question was a fair one.

Now listen I understand you came into the industry during a more difficult time. But the simple truth is people were eventually hired into the majors while you sat at Piedmont for (about) 20 years, right? Is there something about that statement that isn't truthful? Why would anyone take your advice if you couldn't even get out of the regionals on your own? You are fortunate that the flow saved you from this mess after you sat around for a couple decades, but does that really make you an expert on getting hired at the majors?

He's right. I'm next door to vps and spent a week getting a decent sample of available, single hop commutes to majors and regionals. Between vps, pns and ecp - you really have some options.

At least *that* resembles a question with a thought out premise.

But let's be honest here. You and I both know that you didn't get around to asking about Billy's career this one particular time, in this one particular thread, because you genuinely care about the quality of advice that other forum users receive from him. It's the same old schtick that I've seen between you two numerous times. He says something (crazy or not) and you bite every single time.

Had you not popped in here playing grammar nazi, we probably wouldn't be doing this right now. And that is what is annoying.

So you were upset about my possible ad hom argument, but now you presume to tell me what I know?

Just kidding. If you are that annoyed, I will take my business elsewhere. Good evening.

That's good to hear. Really sweating trying to commute around here. Everyone has said it will be especially nightmarish 'round these parts.

If American is his first choice why would that not make him well rounded? What the hell does that even mean?

Most people have a first choice in Majors. Usually has to do with Bases and retirements. American has tons of retirements coming. Hell in just May we have 45 and that number is going to get higher and higher each month. If American is your first choice then the WO's might be the best avenue (unless of course you're a Military Pilot)

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE JUST ANSWER THE ORIGINAL QUESTION??!

Break down the differences in the flows between the WO regionals. Go have these childish debates on Facebook or somewhere else. Seriously!

I hear this crap all the time and it's such a lie. Guess what! We have the same chance of applying outside of the flow that you do at your non wholly-onwed. People who say this just want to justified the fact that now they see the truth and how hard is going to be to get an interview outside of the wholly owned. If someone is smart at the moment they will go to a wholly-onwed and wait. Delta is going to try and purge americans feed and American is going to try and purge Delta feed. People at non-wholly onwed work for all the big 3 so why will they start purging their cheap feed. So yea good luck trying to justify your decision.
