So I take it you agree with these ridiculous requirements being made by the majors?
No, but it’s their trainset, they get to run it they way they like.
Did you work for the regionals? Did you like and agree with their policies and the way they treated their pilots? Did you complain about it? Same thing I'm doing.
Didn’t work at regionals, so no informed opinion there. I flew at EAL, didn’t like it, so I quit. Always an option, flew mil and corporate where I was, at the operations I was at, treated quite well and retired quite well. Also, have lots of civilian experience at places that make today’s regionals look like a major, including EAL.
Who knows, maybe the unions can help if enough people complained about it.
I can guarantee the unions will have no interest or say in hiring.
In today’s world, every employee is a walking P&L statement, do you produce a profit or a loss in how you do your job. Volunteer work, could be interpreted by the hiring people, as an indicator of willingness to engage with customers, go an extra mile to satisfy them. Just a four-year degree shows perseverance and effort. I’d bet their internal studies prove the case. They don’t make these standards up out of thin air.
