If don't sit here and spout doom and gloom I'm automatically on the side of the RAA? You're an idiot.

You say weak pilots are flying at majors and they come from the regionals. That's an outlandish statement. There are bad pilots EVERYWHERE. In fact, some of the dumbest and least competent USAF officers I know finished pilot training.

So your solution can only be solved by paying more? I would argue that there should be far more training done in the sim over the course of a career.

I'm not on the side of the companies I just am not gullible to believe that people would be safer if I were paid more. People would be safer if their pilots were better trained by the companies. So people get afraid that their airplane is in imminent danger because of this moron's article. The first thing Congress would do would be increase training requirements to get hired. That cost is going to roll down hill. I already paid $80k for my training without a government guaranteed loan
