It’s not really surprising. He’s gotten worse over the years, it’s kinda comical and sad the just let this grown man act this way. I feel bad for him, lol.

There’s gotta be more to the story here considering they were doing OE. Hard to stick it all on that guy.
Well, unless you are an armchair pilot who flies a 737 domestically turned down by said airline and has the ego of I do everything right and the best. Then I can understand why you would go on 5+ rant posts about how you know exactly what happened.
Karma is not nice…

Hopefully it’s not like OE where I work but if it is: I could easily see the LCA pontificating for 8 hours about the pressure differential in the turbo encapsulator multiplied by the square root of the tire pressure equalling the fetzer valve back pressure. All the while the FO was completely ignored because he doesn’t matter at good ‘ol boys only training department, while he was frantically asking about the build up ahead…

It ought to be like Emirates. Where it takes a panel interview and an evaluation of your last 3 sim checks. Plus, mandatory required reading like the book above.
Did you apply?
Being "turned down" can, and does, happen at many other stages of the process.

Getting to a major fast is ok. Being in command with minimal jet time on a plane and theater of ops while you still have spots, probably not a good mix.
Low time FOs, okay. License to learn, etc.
Low time CAs, eek.

I had to ask the same guy who wouldn’t let me run the APU politely, “can we brief going into DEN?” We’re almost to TOD. I’m sorry to interrupt but we should probably get ready in case there is an arrival change…
Then DEN center changed our arrival.
I don’t even remember what he was going on about.

Just turn the APU on without asking, say it’s too hot. Sometimes one might be testing you to see how you react?
Same with briefing. I had a guy just going on and in about AS stuff approaching Juneau. Had to cut him off and say, “can we talk about this approach…”.
I know one VX CA to AS CA transition who didn’t make it because he ”wasn’t CA material enough.” Whatever interpretation you wanna take.

I really doubt there is a secret squirrel “captain material” test. Without a doubt not making passengers miserable is certainly not part of it. Based on friends, family and commuters opinions making passengers miserable is part of the “captain material” secret squirrel test. If there was one...

Bored once during monsoon season, I looked up some of my old haunts in the airplane database.
A very distressing number of aircraft are no longer with us.

I thought we had reached peak hypocrisy when you were chastising young pilots who didn’t have enough drive to become airline pilots.
And then you go criticizing a random guy you found on the internet who got to major CA quicker than you despite having actual paid PIC time before getting to the airlines.
Keep being you!
