The guy cleaning the lav on my plane in SAN the other day went to "the academy" too
I mean jesus christ these guys come out never having flown outside of the state of FL, never having done any real flying. Give me a freight dog or part 135 ANY DAY over the guys coming out of the CFI factories these days. A few years ago, at least you had to get REAL flying experience before getting hired at a regional.
These guys get to the regionals, learn how to fly for about a year or two... then upgrade and become the most anal captains out there.
conversation between my FO and I:
Me: "so what you do prior to getting hired here"?
FO: "I was at the academy"
Me: "Really, that is cool... what is life like at the naval academy?"
FO: "Oh, I went to Delta Connection Academy"
Anyway, this guy proceeded to tell me how Delta is going to have preferential hiring for people who are from "the academy".
What kind of friggin cool-aid do they feed these people down there? I mean jesus christ these guys come out never having flown outside of the state of FL, never having done any real flying.
