He wasn’t the one who prompted a pilot to call police because of feeling threatened. Ironically, I believe that member of management was a former cop.

Smokin' Joe was indeed a former cop... and probably wouldn't have lasted very long (or maybe would have I guess) in the age of body cams.

Interesting. If there was more than 1, well, that explains a lot. Birds of a feather and all...

Where are they now?

Keith retired from Airways in 2015. TK retired in maybe 2010 or shortly thereafter and moved out west to a cabin he owned in the middle of nowhere. Smokin' Joe left some time around 2015 maybe and bought a general store somewhere in North Carolina.

If my memory serves me correctly, the guy who was the director of ground school training was a former cop as well. But being that it was 13 years ago I may be wrong.

That is what I remember. Which was dumb because the test was corrected to 100%.

There's a boomer meme about participation trophies here somewhere.

At MQ they gave up and started publishing the question bank officially in the study guide at some point. Still had an older guy moving to schoolhouse try to give us crap about being obnoxious and running a q&a with it "in the open".

Full picture, why cut off 2019 output?

Wasn't my screenshot but I'm sure 2019 was 2.5 or so that's been the trend from 2019. 2-2.6 range
Edit: was 2.7

So providing the demand continues to trend positive, does anyone think that Covid may actually accelerate pilot hiring in the next five years? Due to all the pilots that retired early, would be nice to see the numbers of those that accepted retirement and what the average age was. I have a feeling it will peak sooner but since the 7-10 year projections will now be lower, the late 20’s will fizzle more than previously projected. I’m also bored…

I absolutely think this is a possibility. Just look at United and Delta’s announced hiring plans. I think the party is about to start for sure!

I agree, I think the flood gates will open rather soon! But if 2020 taught us anything, nothing is for certain

For. Sure. 2020 taught me that it’s really good to still live in a regional FO house, even with a legacy job. Not going to forget that lesson!
