Parents employed at Delta.

They also get their hand held through their short regional career by having unlimited access to mentors who know a thing or two about the business and how to maintain success. Good for them, no hate, but you’re delusional if you think “60 hours of of Seminole time” is the real standard at Southwest. GMAFB.

Right place, right time. It’s better to be lucky than good.

GMAFB!!!! It shouldn't be a standard at all. The real standard has drastically fallen.

I'm just a country boy from Arkansas. I can't be expected to identify every little puddle jumper by its nickname.

Incidentally, Feds say the Max 7 won't be certified by the end of the year. Which means we are reliant upon congress's willingness to grant an extension to grow the airline.

Hiring may be the least of our worries.
