Since then I was laid off, had to live and fly on regional's pay in third world country for 6 years, have Douglas, Airbus, Embraer and 747-400; -8F type ratings with thousands of hours and I still don't seem to get any offers that pay more than $4500/month gross, all the while being fed this "pilot shortage" verbal diarreia! It's like the ultimate form of verbal humiliation.
How can kit darby and his alikes (flight schools, regionals etc) be so out of touch with reality!?!
Are they really just gonna go on with this gibberish without ever being held accountable?
First, thanks Skydiasater and Tom11011 for reasonable answers both probably true.I agree with the above post.pilot shortage:what a joke.My qualifications are more than adequate to sling gear as a F/O.Yet as Tom quoted probably wasent kicked out by a computer but probably a human.Maybe age..maybe too much Airbus time already...maybe race,sex..who knows?Point is pilot shortage its not.They can still be very very picky.
