The next step will be matching low costs carrier crew uniforms. Then the real United next, uneducated pilots flying low cost carrier pay rates charging legacy ticket prices. That’s Scotty boys actual definition of “competitive”.
wow , you’re a real piece of ****.. most of those so called “acmi scrubs” have world-wide long haul experience on boeing aircraft and bring a wealth of experience to the table for our pilot group., many of them were also former military pilots who went acmi when no one was hiring except cargo during the pandemic.
Oh and before you ask (while I’ve been here a few years) I was an acmi scrub with 8000TT/4500PIC who also happened to have military time and chose acmi over going to regional (my preference, nothing again regionals).
PS: a degree is a horrible measure of how good a pilot is; that requirement eliminated a huge group of pilots from all our military from being hired.
