I have flown with many low timers over the last couple of years, and with very few exceptions they are very good at their jobs.
I do not feel at all like a baby sitter.

Free PICUS is a bit is a bit of a hard sell for me. Allows Jazz to continue hiring non-ATPL candidates. If they were forced to hire ATPL pilots, pay might go up for everybody.

I’m not sure what the difference is for an LTC doing line indoc vs. PICUS ... should be the same pay.

I don’t think there will be any non LTC captains signing up to do free PICUS.

Dump? Seriously? If you think it is that bad then please just leave. We don't need people like you around here.

Capt Kirk,
We all know who you are, the same guy that posted a highly embarrassing(for you no less) YouTube video about(amount others)how much money you were making as a Captain at Jazz. Now all of sudden it’s a dump? WTF is your deal man?

You clearly don't realize that there are 2 posters with similar names. Kirkk and Kirk. Kirk is the Jazz guy, Kirkk is a guy intentionally trying to get guys like yourself worked up.

Of course it’s entirely possible they are the same person with two different handles. It’s happened before

Word around Jazz is that captianKirk (the mentor guy and youtube one) is going to mainline AC.It makes sense, considering that he's removed his "regional pilot pay" video. I wonder if he's gonna be financially better off, at approximately 50% less than what he was making at Jazz...good luck. Can't wait for your new batch of videos.

If his AC training goes as well as his RJ upgrade he might be out of a job

In twenty years time when your kids ask how you got into flying you want to be able to say "work and determination" not "I just kept taking money from your grandparents for type ratings until someone was stupid enough to give me a job"

Oh great.

Is he going to try to mentor people in the flight deck?

I thought the 10% would work!

Based on looking at the new hire bios from time to time and seeing some faces I hoped I'd never see again, the %10 certainly isn't working. In fact it's somehow working backwards as some of the best FOs I worked with there who are nice people and good pilots are being PFOd or told to reinterview.
