You just posted them....

If you're coming from a Bridge Program you have significantly fewer hours than what you posted, and there are tons of people I've flown with recently with barely the times you posted.

At Mesaba you can get on with 270/18. Maybe a little less depending on what color tie you have on.

You have to pass this test. I missed number 8 and number 2 but then I got a waiver so I'm still an airline pilot.

Word on the street is Piedmont is hiring well below mins.

Word also on the street is getting water boarded or just flat out shot in the face by Seal Team 6 is more appealing then working for a regional. Mins at Comair are zero right now!!!

Pinnacle is handing out class date (without interview) to graduates of Western Michigan and Oklahoma University with a 3.0 or better GPA and Comm/Inst/ME ratings. It's the new "Direct Track" program, and yes, you heard that right: no interview, you just get a class date assigned.

"We fixed it."

The "we fixed it" comment is a heresay comment from a greiving father. Phil Trenary did not say that on camera.

As opposed to the previous interview where they make you fog a mirror.

Arent they graduates from particular universities though?

Are you sure about that? I would have swore I heard that quote from him on camera.

That's much, much worse.

I'm 90% sure. This was part of that investigation TV show (I forgot who, CBS?) that featured Colgan. I think Miles O Brien was in it, and it interviewed former pilots. At one point, a fater of a Colgan victim talked about being in the hearings and approaching the CEO and was told "We fixed it" , and how that shocked him because he didn't understand how the CEO could say that. That's what I know. Now, if anyone has Phil T on record (video tape) saying "We fixed it" , I would love to see it. But unfortunately, as best as I recall, it's the father's words.

You might be right. I watched the show and thought I recalled "T" saying it to the father when he walked over and shook his hand and If IRC it was amplified to make it audible on camera, but I'm probably wrong. I have a good memory, its just short.

 

[Flyer1015]

No, as best as I recall, it's the greiving father one-on-one into the camera when he says he was told 'We fixed it.'
