Airlines Are Running Out of Flight Numbers, and They Don't Know What to Do

Whenever I hear that any IDs could be "recycled", I make a mental note to replace the person making such a proposal from all teams that I am involved in.

This sounds pretty messed up to me. Someone makes a suggestion or throws out an idea you don’t like so you’re gonna essentially cut them out of your professional life or even fire them? Am I reading this right?

I feel like it’s completely understandable. There’s a certain kind of person that thoughtlessly makes comments like this, and it extends beyond just ID’s. You do not want them on your team.

In some instances it’s simply because they are extremely junior and they can be taught, but most instances it’s because they have a habit of shortcuts.

Now that I think of it, this would make a great interview question.
