There are sure some tools out there! I think the saabs are the best thing for Mesaba, it keeps those young punks from wanting to come to our airline-the ones that interview anyways, are sure to screw up and show their true self at least once to those in HR and our pilots who interview! I think when we were hiring a while back-a few months ago and were forced to hire some idiots (yes, those 900 primadonna's who were "hand picked" for their above average skill and having the knowledge to wear their epilettes backwards) we learned our lessons about hiring idiots. I heard a story of a line check airman who confronted one of the 900 FO's who was wearing his the wrong way. the fo said he wore them that way because he was on the 900, the LCA said he heard it was for not being able to pass his IOE without over a 100 hours of being spoonfed how to fly
Great post. This kind of garbage needs to be exposed. The tools on the 900 at XJ that slipped through the cracks in the interview process need to be confronted every time they pull this crap. Unfortunately I am still seeing a hint of arrogance as some of these new FOs wander the halls in the hubs. We definately need to shake things up and do our part as Capts. to set the immature kids straight.
Humbling them and making them feel worthless is probably the only thing that will work.
...........................of course that what sarcasm. But, seriously we must hold them accountable for their actions. The last thing we want at Mesaba is to have our pilot group lumped in with some of those other regional carriers. Our pilots at XJ are mature and professional. It will stay that way.
