Oh YAWN.
Let me explain the point. I don't think you understand, still.
NWA is interviewing lots of people. Many from many places, except not Champion, Pinnacle, or Mesaba. I don't care that you got hired with low time. I am speaking out for the masses.
THE POINT is that NWA is intentionally not INTERVIEWING literally hundreds of pilots with 10,000 plus hours simply because they work for NWA red-tail family companies.
Its great that you got hired.
Once, I sat in an airbus jumpseat next to a former Chatauqua guy. He was telling me how great it was that he got hired with about 2,500 hrs and how easy it was...and maybe I should apply too. Well, at the time I had an app on file and about 5,000 hrs. But why would they hire me with a couple of types, a check-airman letter and a spotless training record. I sat there and tried really hard not to hate his stupidity. He didn't have a clue what an average new-hire needed to qualify.
Oh yeah, he didn't have the same color skin as me.
Life isn't fair. But that doesn't mean that people getting screwed should sit quietly.
And people like me wouldn't roll our eyes collectively when you take a post about the situation personally, or try to make nice by saying "dude, I totally understand how you feel..I have been working for my airline for a whole 4 or 5 years and my major won't hire me"
blah blah blah blah
Bottom line, i was trying to be nice and you decided to bust my chops about it when i was taking your side. I cant control how NWA hires or who they interview. I am just a pilot like you trying to move up the career chain. Again I hope you get on and I meant no ill towards you or your situation. Good luck
