The Great Gazoo
You would think HR would ask the pilot group what type of experience backgrounds would work best to mold with the company and pilots. So far you and A300Capt seem to have differing opinions from what HR thinks.I would love to return to the days of bottom feeders like me getting hired at UPS. Bottom feeders are low maintenance and usually have experienced more variety on their way up the food chain of aviation. This variety provides a broader aviation background as opposed to, say, a space shuttle pilot. The space shuttle guy is great in a Sully scenario, but does he know how to turn the lights on in Maui at night? I'd rather have the low maintenance guy who knows what a cruise clearance is than the space shuttle guy, any day.
If only insurance companies weren't as controlling as they are now.
