"An old pilot adage says the job entails hours of boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror."

I'm glad he published this statement. Way to make the flying public feel secure!!

"In addition, the International Civil Aviation Organization has developed a "multi-crew pilot license" that targets training directly to co-pilot duties. The program requires 240 hours of flying or simulator time and takes about a year, if students pass competency tests, to place someone in an airline job. Europe has adopted MPL, and Australia and China are moving ahead with implementation, according to the International Air Transport Association, but the U.S. hasn't yet begun to study of the idea."

Anyone wanna take bets on how long it'll be before we start to see this here...if ever??
