I just read this a short while ago and thought I should share it.

While others may disagree, from a personal standpoint I do think that if we’re not flying because of furlough, the least the company can do is keep us current and proficient by way of some sim time.

The article pretty much highlights that airlines are more about dollars and cents than a continuing culture of safety by ensuring people who don’t fly don’t forget their skill set, proficiency and operating procedures so that when they come back from furlough the rust isn’t as bad and it doesn’t result in safety issues or an incident which puts our certificates at risk.

Also, yanking our iPads away from us actually did us a disservice.

as the saying goes, if you don’t use it, you lose it.
