What on earth are you trying to say ??? Would you please re-post your idea in complete sentences that somewhat make sense.
Your quote, "you don't even play passengers ?"
I
don't agree with you that De727Ups is a total joke. I have to agree with him that lower minimums is a time bomb just waiting to detonate.
We at UPS have a similar problem at our ANC base. Since it is the least desirable and consequently our most junior base there was the possibility that there
would not be a lot of Int'l experience being displaced there. Thus, UPS made the hiring requirement of overwater, widebody time and 1000 hrs of Turbine PIC time for new hires destined for ANC. I realize this is
apples and tangerines but at least UPS isn't lowering the bar. I also realize that attrition at the regional level is picking up now that the majors are hiring, but why would you hire 10 years ago and require 1500 hrs and now only a couple hundred...because economics and supply and demand are trumping safety.
