Thanks guys, but it's not Rocket Surgery.

It the Company wants it, 99.9% of the time, it's BAD for the pilots.

With an upcoming "Pilot Shortage", everything they want, is aimed at reducing the number of retiring pilots they will need to replace. It's not about money, they have plenty of money, what they are worried about is having enough pilots. If every pilot is flying 92 hours hard time, vs. sitting home for IOE, or flying 75, well, that's 21% less pilots they need to hire.

21% less 777 Captains, 21% less A350 Captains, 21% less A330 Captains, 21% less replacements for the retiring 747 Captains, etc. All the way down the list.

Now, what if they didn't have to staff for IOE? What if every pilot had to FLY 92, rather than sit home for an IOE?

With our 12,000(+) pilots today, that's 2,500 less pilots they need to fly the same block hours.
