I am hesitant but it is his choice. Without starting a new thread on JB pilot’s feeling with the recent AIP I have to say I’m less hesitant. I’ve really enjoyed talking to all the JB pilots that have ridden on my jumpseat and believe y’all have a great product but Papa needs to hear the honest truth. Thanks in advance.
He will not be a welcome addition in my flight deck. His opinions will mean little as he lacks the experience gained by years of flying and fighting for the major airline job. Your son is picking the easy way, and that wont make it an enjoyable career
