Now on to your outlandish above statements. Did you really just say PSA was doing this to try and stop the whipsaw? Oh no. Hold on. I need to laugh for a while. I'll come back to this.
Oh and by the way, ALPA National did NOT think this was a good idea. They laughed just as hard. It is a very very stupid idea.
I was on vacation, and the last thing that I do on vacation is read messages from you.
The average class at PSA for the last several months has been 50-55% 121 guys from other airlines. The majority of those have been Endeavor, with 7-9 years of experience. Also thrown in are some long-time Comair guys. Their average of these guys is certainly in the 8000+ range. Combing them with the military guys (3000-5000 hours, and the corporate pilots (300-5000 hours, some over 10,000hours), the average is around 5000 hours. Several classes were polled, and this is about the norm. Some were 4500 hours, others were 6200 hours average. There are typically only 2-4 "flight instructor" type guys with 1500 hours per class, the rest are coming from other flying jobs (135, 91, 121, military).
