My son (graduate of LeTourneau (the “rival” to Embry-Riddle; we evaluated both - they are both considered the top of the top - hated the idea of FL and their AZ location was just too far from New England) is now Right seat on the line at SWA. 10 years of intense “investment” in time, money, and drive. He was right seat in that little incident from PHX to Oakland around 18 months or so ago,
The good pilots LEARN “fly the plane” (he got to train in Ctabria’s, amongst others - like freaking Porsche’s in the sky!
He has stories (already) you would not believe and not ready for open fora.
Congrats on him getting a great job! It's a tough job and no one should just get to "wing it," so to speak. Mike was so proud of his aviation career. I hope your son doesn't ever have to solo with one of these hires. It's not good and possibly getting worse.
And it makes me wonder why the self-imposed restrictions and guidelines? Who’s holding them accountable for this? The Trump administration certainly isn’t so why the risk?

DEI will die, because it must.
