Any guess as to how many of the 61% civilian that didn't have any 121 experience?

In a perfect World, 100% civilian

I really don't care much about WN, I don't care much about you, and this thread is personally meaningless to me.

All that being said, what an a$$hole.

26 is pretty young. Wonder how he/she pulled that off.

You guys really take this stuff to seriously.

Well only because we've got jerks like SWA/FO to cause issues. All in all, there are some very solid, outstanding civ guys I've trained with. But SWA/FO is "that guy" that gives civilian guys a bad name. I do take that sh*t seriously, because he is the reason why we have that rift going between the civ/mil thing.uke:

I love serving my country and flying military aircraft (as does every other mil flyer on the planet). He's the f**king clown that will never know the pride of serving your country/wearing the uniform and probably babbles about his hatred toward our military throughout an entire 4 day. I'll throw 5 bucks down on a bet he probably got burned/turned down by the military sometime in his sorry past.

Nicely done Scrapdog

There's some military/former military guys who give the military guys a bad name too, Scrapdog. People are either good, or they are not. I don't want to fly any more with the 5% civvie guys than you want to fly with the 5% mil. guys, or vice-versa.

Cheers,

Just out of curiosity, how many guys are getting the interview without the type rating?

Thanks

From my interview group in Oct 06, it was about 50/50. As for SWA FO....that is not SWA spirit that we were taught now is it. Come on now, we are all on the same team.

MIL or CIV doesn't matter. Some people are just A$$holes. Every airline has them, that token 10%. Somehow they slip through the interview process.
