Think of all the money we would save. No need to hire a department of people when we could simply give our pilots a few no fly days a month, pay 'em a little bit like FODM's and call it good. An HR Masters degree is the easiest thing you could do (seriously it is).
It's probably going to be pretty important. As the so-called pilot shortage wanes on, fewer qualified applicants to choose from, that translates into the necessity of having a better hiring process on our end.

And there it is. Admission that stick and rudder are degrading all while the HR at airlines continue to hire the 4.0gpa without any experience other than a little right seat time and a 121 regional. I might only have gotten a 2.95 but I can fly a visual approach into a mountainous airport without FMS guidance and spot land a 35k aircraft on a 4900’ strip. But I can’t seem to get an interview lol.
I made a choice to go to a 135 where I could upgrade faster and get some real challenging flying experience and now it seems as though it’s going to be harder to get to a Major had I stayed at my regional carrier. But hey, c'est la vie. ☺️
