Also, because 9E doesn't have any hiring standards. A pulse and a willingness to show up to class is all that is needed. In some cases, an interview wasn't even necessary, certain colleges had programs where the graduates got class dates without interviews. Delta would like to have a little higher of a standard than that. I'm against flows because it doesn't give an airline a chance to vet through the bad personalities, the guys who make this job harder than it has to be and are just plain annoying to fly with. Ask yourself, you know who these guys are, would you really want them at Delta.

Northwest wasn't a regional with no hiring standards.
It's not a broad brush, it's true. The regionals have a very low hiring standard compared to majors. You can look at the acceptance level of intervieews at majors versus regional. You can look at the percentage chance of being called at a major versus a regional. It's a night and day difference. The interview process is also different. I never said anything bad about the good guys. My point oaths legacies should be able to weed out the bad flying personalities.

Go away ShyGuy, spend some more time with your family instead of commenting on Pinnacle threads. Your posts add nothing constructive or thought provoking to the discussion.

The secret is to pretend all the TV screens have failed and just fly the back up instruments. It may not be a full six pack, but at least you'll feel comfortable.
