Regionals in particular hire only inexperienced robots who will drink their cool aid and push regs and FAR's to what ever limit the company wants. The result is going to be more incidents like flight 4712 MSP-TVC. On that flight nobody on board had the experience to make the decision to go to their alternate or not depart MSP at all.
I totally agree more propaganda from the press. THERE IS NO SHOTRTAGE OF PILOTS. With fuel cost and training cost constantly increasing and pay and QOL life decreasing there is only a shortage of high time pilots. There must be a stack of 500 resumes at every regional, all low time pilots trying to get there first regional job.
Yep BS flag on anyone saying there is a shortage of pilots.
Pilot are a dime a dozen and the price will continue to go down. sorry the truth hurts. I wish it was different too.
