rookie-
I am Birddog,
How do you feel about Southwest Airlines?
To even be CONSIDERED for a position there, you have to go out, and pay for your own 737 endorsement.
And you don't get that paid back.

aka Disco Stu
Are you trying to bring up my blood pressure on purpose
I am NOT American. I have no opinion in what they do Disco Stu. However, if what you have stated to be true, I think they (Southwest) can go
themselves. Shame on them.

Where else do you find an industry that you have to pay to work?!

Where else do you find an industry that has such a vast oversupply of would-be employees (perhaps this is because in any flying job, one gets paid to play)?
Wow! I am speechless.
Paid to play huh?
Lemme explain something to you.
i)During our career (up to the age of 60) will be emersed in a lifetime of study and constant testing and retesting.
ii) Every six months, our job is on the line during simulator training.
iii) every 6 months to 1 a year we are under the mercy of a medical exam.
iv) I won\'t even mention how hard it is in the beginning with fresh ink on your license to find even a hangar brooming job.
Professional ping pong players are the ones that get paid to play.
We are professionals. We get paid to do a job we love.
