...and never will. So there in lies the conundrum. What would you have the company do? Raise the mins? If they do what will change?....will those that have 10,000 at the regionals somehow become more qualified to fly intl.? What do you expect these CA's do....not fly with new hires?

Vigilance is the key...if you find yourself in a position where you have a new hire at your side shouldn't we take it upon ourselves to increase safety through awareness. Isn't that the cornerstone of CRM TEM? Complaining on a web board about predicting accidents won't stop the company from hiring pilots with zero intl. experience nor will it make them raise the mins.

The same could be said for those pilots hired at legacies with no CA time.....does it decrease safety? Increase risk? There are perhaps those that would argue that point but it won't stop legacies from hiring low time pilots. So what is the difference between a legacy airline hiring a pilot with no CA time vs Atlas hiring a pilot with no intl. time? How do we measure risk or say that "because I am taking more risk I should be paid more"?! That may be true but regardless of the level of risk that we take, it is what we do because it all falls under of the purview of CRM TEM principles of risk that we are trained to accept, mitigate and execute......and no amount of pay is going to change the level of risk that we take.
