You can literally go to Trade A Plane and buy a 1991 build 767 for $2-3 Million..the damage you see on the outside is no indication of the longerons, frames, stringers, etc that are stretched, cracked, overstressed and flexed on the inside. Kind of like what your exterior human skin reflets due to a bone fracture beneath the skin..absolutly a write off.

I think everyone has a floater or hard landing but actually bending metal takes a massive amount of G’s and poor airmanship.

Yes I do think United has taken a separate path to hiring. Routinely selecting candidates with 1,700 hours, zero TPIC and no college degree is a United hiring practice only.

1,500 + 200 hours at Frontier = welcome to United.

What the heck does a college degree have to do with operating airplanes?

I can see experience being a sticking point.....but a random degree?

Nothing. But it’s a marker for qualities that do.
