If the "anti-regulation" president decides to roll back on: age 65, FAR 117, ATP rule, we could definitely also see a slowdown in hiring. A rollback of the ATP rule would certainly also rollback all of the new regional bonuses and compensation gains we have recently seen-supply and demand.
You can bet that the airlines will be knocking on doors to get regulation relief now that they have a more "business friendly" administration.
The new president is also not union friendly. Any small chance of a strike before is certainly impossible now. Even if approved, he'd certainly order pilots back to work as other presidents have. But I'm sure all in this industry who voted for him thought about all this before they cast their ballot. We'll just have to see what happens in a year or so.
Exacty but us genius pilots always vote for Presidents that go against our best interests.
We forget that we belong to a union work force and like to vote the anti union white guy in office.
We had a virtual zero chance of striking before. A zero chance now isn't a big deal to me. What is is the fact that a President Trump is 100 times better than a President Clinton (another one). This economy needs some real growth, not the same old tired policies that give anemic growth at best. We may be a union dominated industry and he may be anti-union but this job is not all I am. I fully believe he will provide a much better outcome than Hillary would have and that Obama has. What does Trump being white man have to do with it, by the way?
