There's a "talent assessment" sent to applicants but that could just be a 2 part "currently breathing and in possession of an ATP" checklist.

Nothing to say about that now.

Because the only conflicting information I've heard is in regards to which seat the OE recipient was in.

Let's leave this alone. It's in the hands of the ERC.

Rumors always get ridiculous and everything I've seen on here is completely wrong so far.

I think that's pretty cut and dry.

A certain airline with widgets on their tails and double-breasted suits also had a tailstrike at the same airport with an A320 around the same time, except on landing. I wonder what that says about their training program.

Same superstar group had a new hire land a 737 in LA so hard a gear door came off. The new hire was fired. On average 1 a month is fired @ the ATL home town airline. No rumor just fact. We are talking probationary pilots.
